I have been having trouble getting Rprinter, the background printer
program under Netware 3.1, to print at acceptable speeds on ANY Xt
compatible Zeniths.  I have tried 3 models of XTs running 3 versions
of DOS and still the best I can get is Rprinter to print about 1 line
every 4 minutes!!

When I had the same XTs set up as dedicated print servers using
Pserver.exe I had the same problem unless I told the print server not
to use interrupts on LPT1:.  Unfortunately, Rprinter requires that you
use interrupts (specifically - 7) when printing to LPT1: on a
workstation.  Has anyone heard of the feature/bug or know of a fix.
Do any of you compuservers know of a Rprinter update released after
version 3.1 of Netware?

thanks
