whenever i print, CPU usage jumps to 100%, and all other
functions slow down or are interrupted except for brief
spurts when the printer ends a page and loads a new one.
the printer is an HP 695C running from LPT1.

can i re-assign ports or IRQ's to bypass this priority
without making it much worse for printing?

The real solution is to use a USB printer..... but since you probably don't
want to purchase one, try changing the LPT port settings in the BIOS to read
EPP.
