RE: [Sheflug] Printing speed

Me too. Same printer, same driver, same problem. However, my Epson Stylus
640 works faster, higher quality, and the ink seems to last at least 4
months longer per cartridge when used with GNU/Linux. Seems the HP driver
is dodgy, to say the least.

Life would be so much easier if we 
could just look at the source code.
