I don't know yet.  Several people have reported shifted output on H-P
printers.

That seems high.  But it depends on the CPU speed, the complexity of
the page, the printer resolution, and whether you have a disk cache
in RAM.  Printing bitmap images is known to be very slow; 2-3 minutes
for a page consisting largely of bitmaps is not out of line.  If you
would like to follow up on this, please e-mail to ghost@aladdin.com.
