  1. #Printronix provides fast, full-featured PCL6 drivers for Windows and macOS for their #LP654C printer, but for Linux they provide a much slower PostScript driver instead. I was able to speed up printing on Linux dramatically by switching to the generic pxlcolor PCL6 driver in #foomatic, but since it's a generic driver it doesn't know about all of the printer's features. It's just laziness preventing them from releasing a full-featured PCL driver for Linux.
