[Linux-disciples] slow printing with hp842c

[Karl Sokol]

My printer works ok for the most part- except that it is extremely slow.
>From what I could find googling around, there is a timing issue peculiar to
some hp models when the printer is in 'interrupt-driven' mode.

The solution that is regularly presented is to set the printer into 'poll'
mode by...

$ lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0

However, it seems like the program lptcontrol is a BSD program and not in
the debian archive. Before I look for a source for lptcontrol or start
fiddling with the kernel (which I would rather not do), is there an easy way
to change the printer's mode?
