Hello,

I am currently using an Epson Stylus 980 printer connected through my USB.
This printer is VERY fast when used in Windows but it is painstakenly slow
when I print anything through Linux. I can literally make a pot of coffee
before 1 page finishes! I have RedHat 7.1

Is this the norm with printers in Linux? Would I gain speed if I attached
the printer via a parallel port instead of the USB?

Any information you may have about this would be helpful.

Thanks,
-eric
