Delays in printing are not just a Unix problem.  I have seen it on SCO's
Xenix, 2.3.1 and 2.2.3.  First on an AST 386, latter on an IBM 80.

The AST seems to recover after doing a page or so.  The IBM driving a laser
printer would go into "super slow mode" of 1 page every two minutes.

I suspect it is something in the orignal sources supplied to uPort, SCO, and
probably relates to the re-boot printer problem on Interactive's.  Anyone had
printer problems on a generic AT&T 386 release?
