lp help needed

[Tom Manos]

Printer problem:

machine: ZEOS 386/20
os:      Microport SysV/AT rel. 2.4 (I KNOW, I'm saving my money :-))
printer: Panasonic KXP-1092i, Citizen MSP-10
port:    /dev/lp1

Problem: the printer prints _excruciatingly_ slowly. When I boot DOS on the
same machine, no problem, the printer speeds along, just as it should. I get
the same results whether I use the command "lp /etc/passwd", or 
"cat /etc/passwd > lp1".

I just purchased and set up the new machine, loaded the software from the
original SysV/AT disks, and transferred over my user file system.

The lp spooling system is set up just as it is on a Compaq system here which
works perfectly with the same printers.

Here are my lp devices:
crw-------   2 lp       sys        7,  1 Feb 19 19:16 /dev/lp
crw-------   1 lp       sys        7,  0 Mar 18  1986 /dev/lp0
crw-------   2 lp       sys        7,  1 Feb 19 19:16 /dev/lp1
crw-------   1 lp       sys        7,  2 Oct 19  1986 /dev/lp2

One thing that _is_ really strange is that UNIX prints on lp1, NOT lp0, and
DOS prints on lpt1:. Does that make sense?

This problem is driving me NUTS. Anyone have similar experiences?
