Greetings Alex: I also had the same problem. I first used lprng, then switched over to CUPS. Both printed *really well* but very slowly. My bride could send over one of her print jobs from win98 and it would print very quickly. I didn't see any option unit recently when I installed a full stable Woody on my laptop. When I added the printer, I had over 5 drivers to choose from for my old hp-560c! The one I picked printed as fast as winX but only in black/white. The next one printed almost as fast as winX but in full color--eureka! I did a quick search and loaded more CUPS drivers with apt-get, then modified my printer config to use that driver. Much improvement for an impatient hippie :) The advice is check for optional drivers (gimp-print etc) and add them all, then see if you can find one that will really drive your printer well. gl tatah - -- Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls\/A GNU-Debian linux user\/ http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid.
