If a DOS application does not close the printer port Windows waits 45
seconds
after receiving data before printing. The delay can be shortened to 10
seconds
by adding the following lines after the [386enh] section in the
system.ini file
on the client workstations:
[Network]
PrintBufTime=10
[IFSMGR]
PrintBufTime=10
