Please Help! My problem is when I'm using DOS base software
to print the document, the printer(Epson dot matrix)will
wait a few minute or wait for another document send to
print then it start printing. How can I config the printer
at windows xp start printing faster like the other system
using windows 98 SE that send the document at MSDOS prompt
will direct print at printer?

Thanks

if you try to DIR > LPT1: is slow too or this happens only when a DOS app is
printing?

If it's the latter, probably your DOS app. is not closing the printer port
at the end of the print job, so it will stay into the spooler until the
timeout value is reached.

The best solution should be to fix the DOS app. If you cannot, you can try
to change the timeout value. I remember you can do it by WIN.INI or by the
Registry, but I have not the instructions at hand. Try to search old
messages in this NG for "slow printing under dos".

Kind regards,
