A follow up in case anyone in interested. The problem was that the overlay image being sent to the 4400 was 600 pel and teh printer only supports 300 pel, so it was taking almost a minute to convert the image back to 300 pel. Using a 300 pel overlay has the printing time down to seconds per label.

LAN connected, configured as IPDS printer. They finally sorted their issues with the gap width spacing between labels, but they can not seem to get any more than 3 labels printing per minute. The printer has a configuration setting Media Handling=Tear-off Strip yet the printer seems to position itself to the tear strip after EVERY label (something that the setting Media Handlling=Tear Off is supposed to do, not when you have it set to Tear-off Strip which is supposed to print a set of labels (the whole spool file presumably) then position to the tear-off bar when the printer buffer is empty). Anyone have any idea how to speed these things up? Neil Palmer, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
