Slow printing on LPT1

Locked

After upgrading to win 2000 SP 2 from win NT 4 SP 6, printing to an Epson 1270 over the LPT1 port is very slow (1/2 of what it was with win NT). What can be done to fix this?

  Upgrade the print drivers, turn on direct to port printing and try some fine tuning in the print driver, swap spool settings, emf/raw and see what the effect is.
  
  Good luck.
