It is pretty slow processing the postscript (especially if bitmap images are being sent) and OS/2 whines about it with its little pop-up. If I hit "retry" or just ignore it(!!!!!!!!!) it prints fine but the popup and beep keeps happening every thritysecs or so and it drives me nuts! I set the timeout to 999 but it doesn't seem to change anything - every 30 secs "BEEEEEEEEP".
