Hello,

I use DOSEMU under Debian Woody, GNOME 1.4, Linux 2.6.1. I have
printers running by CUPS. When I print from inside DOSEMU, there is 4 secs pause before printing starts. The pause dosen't depend on CPU or machine load, dosen't depend on the program (even copying file to lpt under DOSEMU has the exactly pause), and I have verified it on three computers, two of them with EPSON LX-300 and one with HPDJ320. When printing from Linux, no such pause takes place.
What could it be?
I'm happy the DOSEMU runs and I don't complain -the pause is
something man can learn to live with. But question is still there. What is going on?

Greet You
Peter
