Actually, dredging up memories of a scary past, you might be right
about printing speed. I do remember distinctly though, that when the
printer got itself into a tizzy, and decided to just form-feed
continuously, as this particular printer was wont to do, it would very
quickly go through a box of paper. I would return from a coffee break
to find paper all over the floor.

This was a Data Products as well.

I worked in an ASWOC, Anti-Submarine-Warfare-Operations-Center. I was
last stationed in Misawa.
