Cl2000 LP122c slow printing

glnsk8terElite P4P'er

I have a customer with multipage PPTs when the printer receives pages with small pasted images from a web site, it slows down quite a bit. Using pcl5c, has 128meg ram, no hd, their HP printers are quite fast in comparison, I started doing some tests from laptop and found that best speed was ps, then rpcs then pcl5c, port 9100 better than lpr. They have lots of users and printers shared from a central server, they have tried both types of ports no better, I will be going on site soon, hope to try lower resolution and choosing of raster. I watched the windows spool window seem to expand to only 20meg for a 26page document with about 5 pages haveing imbedded graphics, resulted in over 10 minutes to print.

You only need to post in one Forum.

The 20mb spool file you see, that is at the customer's site with their file?

If you make your own file around the same size, does it print as slow?

I have seen 1 inch x 1 inch .jpg's turn out to be 11x17 files squeezed down fit where the customer wants it in powerpoint.

If it is just one document, you can try eliminating some graphics to see if a particular one is causing a problem. Print half the file, if the print speed is half of what it was before, print the other half. It may be the cumulative effect of so many graphics or it could be just one rogue .jpg causing your problems.

I haven't used the CL2000, so I can't say what speed you should expect. Offhand, I'd say it would be faster than that, but I have no experience with that model.
