    Well, I've got your tunelp release. I used the -T on/off option but the
    interrupt driven printing is still the same way: very slow...

    I'll try a little bit more before I give up and upgrade to kernel 2.2.2.
    Besides, I didn't receive a message from anybody saying that there
    is a Stylus Color 600 printing fast (interrupt driven) with kernel
    2.0.36.


    Thanks for all the help I've received...
