I was the original poster. I said 'printer'. The 600 isn't a laser printer,
it's a dot-matrix line printer with a row of pixel hammers across the page.
In any case, the real application for which I want a fast parallel driver
isn't a printer at all. It's another peripheral that, for software
compatibility reasons, pretends to be a standard IBM printer port.
