Comment 6 for bug 548747

I have the same problem. When the printer is this slow, it is practically useless. I changed the printer settings to use the attached ppd file instead (found here: http://www.murrayc.com/blog/permalink/2007/01/10/new-printer-lexmark-e120n/#comment-12556), and that both fixes the slowness as well as makes printed graphics look a lot better.

 I can now print a form containing a barcode, and the lines in the barcode stays perfectly sharp and legible. With the default (foomatic/pxlmono), the barcode is full of jagged edges and blurriness.
