Problem

Solutions: A gentleman using a 386 computer printing a 60 page document finds that when typing text during a print job that the keyboard seems to stutter. While he is typing the characters lag being and every once in awhile they will catch up with him. The problem seemed to be the fact that the port was set to COM1 with Xon/Xoff set to 'Yes'. When Xon/Xoff was changed to 'No' the typing worked like a charm and no longer stuttered. Obviously the handshaking involved took up processor time and thus slowed up his typing abilities. The printer being used was an HP LaserJet IIP.
