Using ECHO and PrintScreen are problematic as neither Netware nor the
printer know where they end and have to employ a timeout.  I'm using
v2.11 of the requester on Warp and if I try your test my network
printer first shows "Processing" and then "Waiting" for a couple of
minutes before finally printing "Test".

This situation doesn't arise when using the PRINT command or printing
from apps.  So, unless you really have to use ECHO, I wouldn't
worry about it.
