Actually, one of the authors in the January PC WORLD or PC COMPUTING
magazine tested the "direct printing to port" and reported it to be
slower, in most cases.  You might want to read this issue as it has
some tips on speeding up printing.  I can't remember which of the
two magazines it was in, but I know it was the January issue.
