Digital BW, The Print

It's probably not the RIP's fault, it's your cable. I've tried all
three connection types on my 2100 and LPT was the slowest by far. And
by that I mean _much_ slower than with USB or Firewire.

Can't the RIP and the driver coexist on the same port?

that I have been getting with the RIP, I was looking forward with
great anticipation making a print with the HPR paper. However, the
printer was going so slow--I mean very, very slow--that I stopped the
printing. The printer is connected to the USB port for "normal"
printing and to the LPT port for the RIP. It doesn't run slow with the
"normal" printer.

slow. As soon as I can find a 10' Firewire cord I will disconnect the
RIP printer and reinstall it with the Firewire connection. In the
meantime, any suggestions you have that I could implement to improve
the RIP's printing speed would be much appreciated.
