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
