I have clipper program runnig on win NT.
Printing to matric printer EPSON LQ850 is a big problem. It goes, but it's very very slow. One page is printed in 2-3 minutes. Printing on page priner like HP deskjet 600 is normal. It looks like it has problem with printer buffer. I switched settings to "print direct to printer" and RAW type.
Does anybody have any idea how to solve this problem.

Thanks!

I use a Turbo Pascal 7.0, for make this work better, and i found Win NT send the data to the printer after receibe a END File or close file LPT1, or the program exit, then you can try a close lpt1 or sending a Ctrl-Z to Lpt1 three times and then WinNT goes to wait a 15secs for printing...

That help me, i espect this can help you...

Put the epson printer into Draft mode. What it really sounds like is that the printer is operating fine, just that it is old and putting it in Draft mode will speed it up.
