I forgot to mention that after the first reply to my thread by John, I
turned the resolution down to 150x150 (the lowest it would go) and
black and white (not even grayscale). Putting the interrupt at 5 as
opposed to 7 allowed for one whole test page to print straight through.
Turning the quality to 300x300 grayscale promoted the same problem with
the dmesg message:
Interrupt storm detected on "irq5: lpt0"; throttling interrupt source

Hello all,
My HP DeskJet 612C printer is printing unbearably slow (0.033 PPM).
I have a stock installation (GENERIC KERNEL) of FreeBSD 5.3
straight off of the install CDs, and I have installed very little
software thus far. I have mainly followed the installation
instructions from
http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~ranga/notes/freebsd_cups.html
It basically prints one line at a time, then pauses for a while,
and makes some noises, and then repeats. The whole single test page
took over 30 minutes to print. Does anyone have any insight/info
that they can give me to solve this problem or point me in the
right direction of solving it? I have Googled and done some
searching and did not come up with anything. I checked the CUPS
documentation and forums and did not see anything either.
If you are using the parallel port it sounds like an interrupt
problem. Check you settings in the BIOS and try different ECP/EPP
settings for the port.
