Subject: /dev/lp1 VERY slow in 0.98p6 and 0.99
Date: 16 Dec 1992 10:03:31 GMT

When I upgraded to 0.96p6 (and now 0.99, has the same lp code),
parallel line printer driver got VERY slow (printing bitmaps an a NEC
P6 or a HP DeskJet takes 1 or more MINUTES per line).

Using /usr/src/linux/kernel/chr_drv/lp.c and /usr/include/linux/lp.h
from 0.98p5 (or earlier) works with both 0.98p6 and 0.99.

Is there a fix for the "new" broken lp driver?

Thanks,
Harald
