Daniel,
I'm not sure the attachment will come through, but if it does it is a
postscript file that I just tried on my system using Ghostscript.
The attachment is for a LaserJet IIP (or generic HP Laserjet, I think)
The typesetting is done by LaTeX and then converted to PostScript.
Here are the results I got with Ghostscript:
From issuing the command to print until ---
the printer actually begins printing page 1: 44 seconds
the second page finishes: 2:22.
When I used DVIWIN, a non-postscript windows printing program used
with LaTeX, the times were : first page 25 seconds
and second page 1:24.
When I used DVIHPLJ, a non-postscript DOS printing program for LaTeX,
the times were first page 7 seconds
and second page 50 seconds.
(Needless to say, I normally print with the DOS program!)

========================== Daniel Say replies ============
Well I installed Ghostscript 5.03 (June 1997) for
DOS and compared it with Goscript.
Your PS.PS text was printed in DOS (I normally do everything
under OS/2 and its DOS windows). And I booted in DOS to give
a common reference to this 386DX33.

In Goscript you set up a GS32.CFG file with
defaults. You could even create several and
haul them in as needed.

i There are so many files in the Ghostscript/Gnuscript
because there is no support, no manuals (other than these files)
and no warranty. All questions are directed to a Usenet
group which doesn't often answer.
