[Till Kamppeter <525161@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sending the PostScript file directly to a native PostScript printer, for
example using the command

nc -w1 <IP address of printer> 9100 < Grammar\ 4.ps

leads to a printout in a reasonable time (2-3 pages quickly one after
each other, then 5 seconds pause, 2-3 pages again and so forth).

This means that the PostScript IS awkward, but GhostScript is really TOO
slow, meaning that there is room for improvement/fixing in Ghostscript.

Independent of this, the djvu software used by evince needs improvement,
too, once it should generate better, easier to process PostScript, and
second it should be able to directly convert djvu into PDF, as PDF is
THE standard format for printable documents under all operating systems
(please consider reporting an upstream bug here, too.
