We recently switched our line printer from HPIB to serial at 19,200bps.
When printing spooled output, any IO rate difference goes unnoticed, but for
"hot" jobs, the actual printing rate is about half as fast as it used to be
using HPIB.

Is/was HPIB really twice as fast as 19.2?

Could be our HPIB profile included stripping trailing spaces and the serial
profile does not or some such difference, but...
