Need stats about HP 712C

I have a HP DeskJet 712C parallel port printer. It's a nice machine
that I've owned since Dec. 1998. However, it's slow as molasses and I'm
thinking about getting a faster, USB printer next month. Just for
comparison purposes, how many pages per minute can the 712C print out, B&W
and color?

has the specs. In draft mode it is rated at 6ppm black, 1ppm color. By
comparison the $129 Deskjet 5650 at

is rated 21 ppm black and 15 ppm color (in comparable draft modes).

I too have owned a 712c for a number of years and its stood well. Does
the job ... but , yes slow. And I have a devil of a time getting it to
work correctly with various distributions of Linux , and the BSD's.
