Hi, Claudia.
Thank You for advice, I'll check it but this probably is not the issue. I'm not sure whether CUPS starts from inetd, I presume not, but the pause before printing is EXACTLY SAME everytime. About 4 secs. The machine is powerfull enough (AthlonXP1900+) and starting the print daemon surely dosen't take him so long. Mainly the second time and later, when it should be already in cache. The start of OpenOffice.org is faster ;o)
The printer timeout dosen't affect this problem, I checked this. I'll try again however.
And it dosen't depend on machine nor printer! Maybe it depends on the version of CUPS, cause I use Debian Woody everywhere.
What is really interesting: the pause appears ONLY if printing from DOSEMU. Oter print jobs start immediately.
Thank You again.

Hallo, does somebody have the same problem? My mom prints a lot from DOSEMU and she is not comfortable with the every-print-waiting.
What could be the reason of the problem? And can somebody help?
Did you put a
$_printer_timeout = (1)
in your $HOME/.dosemurc?
Otherwise it is a problem of your printer spooler. With CUPS I have a little pause with printing the first time in the morning after starting CUPS and DOSemu. After that it always prints immediatly the whole day long (if there is enough paper ;-)).
Could it be that you configured your printer spooler starting with inetd. Then it will take a pause every time you start printing. Start your printer spooler as daemon.
