Hi,

I had to change from LPR to CUPS, because LPR would not allow me to disable
two-sided printing (no clue why). With CUPS printing articles takes up to
half an hour for 12 pages, if there are pictures in it. With LPR the job
was finished after a few seconds. I think I have direct PS printing without
conversion to PCL (where can I check that?). While printing (or better
said: while waiting for it) the CPU is almost idle, so I think the printer
is the one taking so long.

I have seen similar questions to similar hardware configuration on several
printing forums, but no definite answer has been given.

Some advice?
