does not fix, the problem is as well with lpr and cups local/remote
the only way to get "some more speed" is using b/w and 150 dpi on a HPDJ, a=
ny=20
gray or color mode is slow

doesn't matter what you set in the BIOS or whatever, any gray or colormode =
on=20
5.3 is that inacceptable slow
using the exactly same printer and port settings on 5.2.1 or 4.11 brings yo=
u=20
back to the expected printing speed
you even can use the exact same clean ports tree and compiling cupsd +=20
foomatic and 5.3 is slow and 5.2.1 and 4.11 is normal speed
But printing to a remote cups tree from 5.3 is giving the normal performanc=
