Why is /dev/lp slow?

[Dave Levenson]

Just upgraded from AT&T SysV/386r3.2 to SysV/386r3.2.2.  Nothing in
the hardware has changed.  The printer on /dev/lp is a 480-cps HP
"Rugged-Writer" which has always worked well, and at full speed, on
this system.

Since upgrading to 3.2.2, the printer has slowed to about 30 cps or
so.  It is equally slow whether we use the lp print spooler or write
directly to /dev/lp, so I think it's in the driver, and not in the
spooler.

Can anybody tell me what I've got wrong?
