Re: printerSetCurrent slow on new PC

Toby,

Put the Zebra on LPT1 and use TextStream to make your labels**. Put
the HP on another port and set it as your default printer. No more
need to swap printers.

**uses EPL2 - I use ZPL for the printers here, and once you get the
hang of it, it's easy - EPL probably isn't much different.
