| |
Hi,
A while ago I introduced a delay to parport_pc as a temporary measure because it seemed to be helping people who were having trouble with missed characters at the beginning of a print job.
Please can everyone try this, and let me know of any changes in behaviour. Don't bother telling me that parport_pc loads more quickly though.. ;-)
If you have have "missed characters" troubles before, +please+ try this and tell me if the problem recurs!
Thanks, Tim. */
