TV Tuner Cards and Printers

[Joe]

I have  deskjet HP 895Cse and a HP 720C.  Both work fine (almost).  They 
run through CUPS and foomatic rips the postscript into HP's printer 
language.  The only problem I have is that it prints really slowly 
compared to under Windoze.  I'm not sure what this is all about, but two 
factors may be:
1) It prints pretty high resolution and my attempt to change that have 
only slowed it down further.  This may have something to do with the ppd 
file that tells CUPS/foomatic what the printer capabilities are may not 
have all the lower resolutions defined and so setting to one might be 
causing double conversions, or I might just have it configured wrong.
2) On my poor old PII- 266 ripping may just take a long time.

So for me, when I upgrade printers, I want to consider a native 
postscript one so the ripping is eliminated and I probably want a duplex 
printer (that prints on both sides of the paper) to save trees and so 
that what I keep takes up less space.
