	Are you sure you are testing with V1.3?  The V1.3 HP_LaserJet driver
should not be sending a reset to the printer for each graphic dump.  Are
you going to be at DevCon?  We could go over any details of the printer.device
that you're interested in.  Kudos for your plotter.device (PLT:), I've always
wanted to do one but there was never the resources here to do it as well as
the printer.device.
