Subject: [9fans] man -t cat|lp takes 4min
Date: Wed, 11 May 2005 10:52:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <22bb19f15d9940fd026539b04e5e0c6b@yourdomain.dom> (raw)
With, for example, man -t cat|lp the printer light starts blinking right after
<return>. It then takes about 4 minutes before printing begins; the output is proper.
The action is the same with or without the change to lpdspool suggested in the
*printer configuration* document.
This problem appeared about 6 months ago, possibly after a replica/pull.
Before that I noticed no delay in printing man pages this way.
The printer is an NEC 1800N with 12MB memory, driven via lpt. It's a postscript printer.
Suggestions, please.
Thanks,
-Tom
