Hello all,
Printing to my good ol HP 4m from Panther (and previous OSX versions) was really slow, especially from Safari. I tried different drivers etc.. I finally tried swtching from Appletalk to LPR and entering the IP address of the HP. A web page that previously took 10 minutes to print (ahhhhhh!) now takes about 40 seconds!
Hope this may help others.
Take care, Mark
