Speed: It's just faster with PCL than with PS. Given a
multi-page output, the printer is in constant action
loading paper, duplexing, printing and ejecting, so
no big deal.
Error messages: This started with FreeBSD 7. The system
log gets full of
lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
lpt0: [ITHREAD]
when printing. I even have
hw.intr_storm_threshold="1000"
in /boot/loader.conf. I didn't have this problem with 4 and 5.
But hey, the printer works (again), and with my "new" system
getting ready for 8 and networked printing, I won't complain. :-)

As long as the printer isn't as tall as you are... :-)
