Hi,

Must be a FAQ, but I did not find anything ...

When wanting to print thru /dev/lpt0 the kernel now starts to complain about
interruptstorms. Something I can imagine, since printing can generate > 1000
ints/sec.
Problem is that the current document (500k) is now printed at 100
interrupts/sec.

That's going to take some time....
How do I prevent this from happening?

Thanx,
--WjW
