I was the original poster. I said 'printer'. The 600 isn't a laser printer, it's a dot-matrix line printer with a row of pixel hammers across the page. In any case, the real application for which I want a fast parallel driver isn't a printer at all. It's another peripheral that, for software compatibility reasons, pretends to be a standard IBM printer port. -- You may redistribute this article only to those who may freely do likewise.
