I have a user who upgraded recently to XP Pro and is using an ancient DOS
accounts app and an EPSON LX300+ dot matrix printer

Everything is working, but unlike on W98se, there is a 30-60 second delay
before printing starts.

This means that the total time to print one invoice has gone up to over a
minute from around 30 seconds.

I have adjusted the printer properties to start printing after first page
and evenprint direct to printer - no difference...

Is there any other way to adjust the printer settings or to turn off
spooling altogether?

Any help much appreciated.

To turn offf spooling, right click on the Printer icon in Control Panel,
Printers & Faxes, and select Properties - from the Advanted tab, select
Print Direct to Printer.

Ensure the LPT port in the BIOS is set to EPP.
