RE: hp2055 overlay/micr printing issue

["tim" <tim.dclinc@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tried with the new settings and it works great. 

The only issue I am having now is printing the document with the overlay.
Its verrrry slow...

Not sure what variations you've tried, but the IBM Knowledge Base
lists the HP2055 recommended HPT as *HP5SI (not the hp4000 you have used). 
I've had much better results with their recommendations.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas1ba0863cfa6463903862569c100
78c903

Also, in the printer itself, check if a timeout value (almost always have to

increase it).
Have also had good results with the snmp option (driver pgm *IBMSNMPDRV) - 
other parms are the same.

Finally, have you replaced a printer that had decent memory with one with 
very limited memory?
