I seem to have a severe timing problem with LPT2. I have a postscript board
(QMJ JetScript) installed as LPT2. I can write a certain postscript file to
LPT2 using a special QMS utility, which probably writes directly to the
hardware, in about 10 seconds from the DOS window. I can also issue the
command "COPY <filename> LPT2" from outside of Windows with the same timing
results. However, if I issue the COPY command from a DOS window, it takes
over 13 minutes to print the file! What could possibly cause such a large
difference in print time?
