We have connected a Laser-Printer to the Parallel Interface of a DMF-32
(Unibus/ VAX 11/780).
Before that we used an asynchronous Interface (spooled Terminal-queue) to
connect the Laser-Printer (at a maximum speed of 19200 baud).

Now we observed that the thruput via the parallel interface is just about
twice as fast as over the asynch (19200) line.

Does anybody know the specifications of the DMF-32 parallel port (thruput)?
I could not find it in the documentation available in our installation
(DMF-32 User's Guide, EK-DMF32-UG-002)

Thank you in advance. Please answer directly to me, if possible.
