Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply about the slowness of Geoworks
printing on a dot matrix printer. You wrote:
-> because the printing is graphical in nature and a lot of information
-> is being passed to the printer.
Understood quite clearly. Three to five minutes a pages
seems tolerable considering the slowness of the equipment
I'm fooling around with. But, there were very long periods
of time when nothing at all was happening, the printer
wasn't printing nor was the hard drive light coming on.
It (the XT and the Okidata 92) just sat there silent for
up to five minutes or more. Then it would start printing
again. It took an hour to print a five page banner.
Seems to me it should do better than that!
Regards,
Sam Ewalt
