Highly slow printing by Reader 9.3.4

Hello,
I had no problem printing my pdf files until 9.3.4 was pushed and installed under Windows 7 Ultimate... Now for a single page of PDF, it take more than 2-3 minutes to print and for PDF files bigger than few pages printer fails and output stays in the Queue with error... HP manufacturer claims that the problem is with Adobe Reader 9.3.4. Has anyone had the same problem? Has anyone looks over this problem in Adobe Reader Team?
Regards

Slow printing Adobe Reader XI

Hi there!
Like so many others, I am having a difficult time printing Adobe Reader documents. I am running system 10.6.8 (not sure which cat that is), Adobe Reader XI and my printer is a HP LaserJet P2015dn. I ran Software Update, re-installed the driver from the HP website and updated to Reader XI. I'm not sure what else I can do and printing at five minutes per page is really frustrating.
Thank you for any advice!!

Slow Printing ( Acrobat Reader 6.0)

Hello. I have a question:
I have noticed that when printing .pdf items from Acrobat Reader, the process takes ages. Why is this?
My specs are:
Powerbook: G4 1GHz, 1GB Ram, Acrobat Reader 6.0,
Printer: HP PSC 2410 all-in-one photosmart,
USB 1.1

I have the same problem and decided to read all the posts before asking the question so I'm resurecting an "old" question.
I had the same problem and I installed 7.0. It still takes measurable minutes per page. I don't remember specific numbers, but I did try to print an American Express statement some time ago and if there were 8 pages it literally took 1/2 hour or more for them to print. I've learned to pick only the pertinent ones to print but even that takes a long time. I've owned Macs for years, but didn't generally print .pdf files much in the past. I do much more internet now and so much is .pdf. It's a real PITA. It's nice to know I'm not alone, but not to know that there doesn't seem to be a "fix".

Acrobat Reader 9 slow printing

There is no question that Acrobat Reader 9 causes problems with printing. I, as many others, reloaded printer drivers, checked every other possibility and finally removed version 9 and reactivated version 8. No more problems. This was with an HP P2015 laser jet printer. Reader 9 definitely has some issues.

If Adobe Acrobat Reader prints slowly try the following:
1.             Open a PDF file
2.             From the menu, select File > Print
3.             From the dialog displayed, click on the Advanced button at the bottom
4.             On the Advanced Print Setup dialog, make sure that “Let printer determine colors” is CHECKED.
5.             Click OK and OK to print the document.
This worked for me.

Hp laserjet M1530dnf MPF slow printing

The technical specification for this printer is a print speed of 26 ppm. Last night I attempted to print a 31 page PDF file. It printed nine pages in 22 minutes before I cancelled the print job. I have an HP Deskjet 6600 for color printing. I sent the same file, set for B&W, to that printer. It completed printing all 31 pages in less than six minutes. Both printers use a wireless connection. Printer drivers for both were updated on 12 Apr 15. All Microsoft updaters have been applied. The 6600 is about three years old. I've had the M1530dnf Laserjet for about 45 days. This is just the most egregious example of the Lasterjet's abominably slow printing. Even a five page Word document can take between 3-to-5 minutes. The device manager reports the printer is working properly, but that is obviously not the case.
Any thoughts on where to go next are appreciated. The printer is still under warrenty, so I can take the problem back to HP. If thast's my option, does anyone have as good phone number to use? I used the number on the support web site and went through three people and over half-hour on hold only to get disconnected. I'd like to streamline that process by contacting the right person on the first call.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

As it turned out, the problem was traced to a needed firm ware update. HP did a remote control section, had the problem isolated very quickly, performed the correction, and all within a half-hour the printer was back where it should be,
Everybody gets kudus for helping; everything you suggested got me closer and closer. Completeing the steps you outlined helped me sound a lot more intelligent. When I spoke to HP, I had accounted for most of the possible variables. That way, the time with them was much more productive.

Slow Printing from Java (AGAIN!)

While Java printing seems to be somewhat improved over what I've seen in the past, one of our customers has several end-users who need up to 45 minutes to print a simple, ten-page, pure text report, and some have been complaining about missing pages and/or poor print quality.
Our product offers users a choice between printing reports directly, or generating PDFs using the GnuJPDF library. In my own tests, I've found that if I print an eleven-page report directly, it sends a full megabyte to the printer (an HP LJ6MP, presumably running in PostScript mode), and takes two and a half minutes to print. If I generate a PDF, it takes two and a half SECONDS to genrate the PDF, and if I then print the PDF from Acrobat, it sends little more than a third of a megabyte to the printer, which then churns out pages as fast as it's able to, in well under two minutes.
In effect, Sun's own Java AWT printing system, even after considerable improvements over several years, is STILL considerably slower and clunkier than a not-quite-public-domain jar.
What's wrong with this picture?

try...
java.lang.InheritableThreadLocalHmm. I admit I haven't looked at this thread in a while.
But what does an "InheritableThreadLocal" (or an ordinary "ThreadLocal," for that matter) have to do with Java printing?

Very slow printing on 10.6 server

Hi,
I've got a Mac Mini Server running up to date SL server. I have two printers hooked up to it, one HP laserjet and one Canon Pixma. Both up to date drivers. The printer server is set up and both printers work perfectly when printing locally from the server. The printers are shared using IPP and are visible through Bonjour as 'printer @ server'
The problem arises when I print from my MB. Printing does work but it's painfully slow, taking up to five minutes to start printing. The job doesn't appear in the print server log until well after i've sent it. I have tried both n wifi and gigabit ethernet connections (small text docs take as long to start).
Has anyone else experienced this? Have you resolved it? If so, how?!
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. I find that clients, Windows, Mac, Linux and OS/2 all exhibit the same problem as you describe when they attempt to print over the network to USB connected printers located on the server while printing from the server itself presents no problems.
The Mac clients provide most information suggesting that the system seems to be searching for something critical to the print process and taking quite some time to find it. When the client finally connects, the print job executes with normal speed. The connection process can take 2-3 minutes on my network.
Attaching the printers to a print server or another client restores printing efficiency. As this essentially provides an ethernet based printing capability, it suggests that the problem relates to operation under USB.
I also learned that OSX Snow Leopard Server does not natively support sharing of USB printers and must be shared through the CUPS process at localhost"631.
Unfortunately, while this allows the printers to be shared across the network, it doesn't provided a solution to the slow printing problem.
I've checked to see that print sharing is active from the Server Admin window and also that queues had been established for the printers. Clients were set up to print directly to the IPP queues and while the print job would eventually print, printing delays still existed.
I also looked at DNS configuration and local host naming but found everything to be in order.
For practical reasons, I have been forced for the moment to service printing requirements by hosting printers on ethernet based print servers or PC/MAC print servers which operates effective but requires in my view an unnecessary additional investment in hardware.
As both of my printers are still quite serviceable, I have no intention of re-investing in ethernet capable printers to work around this problem.
What I think is required is additional coding within Snow Leopard Server to support native USB printing. From what I've seen here in this discussion group, it's current and prolific problem which Apple should be addressing.

HP Color LaserJet 3500n - Slow Printing in Snow Leopard

I've installed all of the HP Printer Updates for Snow Leopard (even manually downloaded the latest entire HP Printer Update), Reset the Printing System and reinstalled all of my printers, but I still continue to have an issues where it takes over 4 minutes for the first page of a print job to print... This is a network printer with an external HP JetDirect (Model #J7942A) box and the slow printing occurs with all Snow Leopard machines. Firmware for both the Printer and the JetDirect box are at the latest versions...
I did notice that Apple's kb article indicates that the latest print driver for this printer is 1.0.2, but my driver indicates 1.0.1... Is the kb article incorrect? Any ideas why I'm not getting the 1.0.2 driver? Suggestions?

I've got the same problem with a Color Laserjet 3550 + JetDirect en3700.
For security reasons, I disabled SNMP v1/v2 on JetDirect. Everythings works fine on Leopard.
I got this problem after upgrading to Snow Leopard (ver. 10.6.2 with HP printer driver 1.0.1).
Looking at network traffic with Wireshark, I've noticed some timeout on SNMP v2 packet directed to the printer.
I've enabled SNMP v1+v2 on JetDirect and now everithings works fine, but security problems related to unsecure SNMP version are now open.
I've upgraded HP printer driver, but I can't find driver version 1.0.2, as mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP.
Any suggestion?

HP Officejet Pro 8610 - Extremely slow printing

Hello,
I have just purchased my new HP 8610 All in one printer. I have set everything up wirelessly. For some reason when I print documents it is extremely slow printing. I cant seem to find the problem for this. For a 5 page documents it could take minutes to print. Please help, thanks in advance

Hi nat1985,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Officejet pro 8610 is printing PDF files very slow, and I am happy to help you with this slow printing issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following information:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If the printer prints slow from Notepad.
Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

Slow printing from Mac to HP Business Inkjet 2800dtn

Hi,
We have an iMac running
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Indesign 5.0 CS4
Acrobat Pro 9.0.0
HP Business Inkjet 2800 driver PS v3010.107, with 76Mb Memory
It's taking forever to print documents that are a few Mb in size.
The documents are created with Indesign.
I've tried outputting to pdf and it's still no better.
One pdf is 3.5Mb and just gets stuck at 5%. The printer shows "processing job" until it fails after 30 mins.
I've tried printing the pdf from a Windows XP pc using the HP postscript driver and it's the same. The spool file shows as being 18Mb on the PC.
Printing using Windows PCL driver, the speed is OK but the quality is poor. The only way to get these to print is by using the Windows to print to PS with the print to Image option selected.
I've looked at the Mac spool folder and it looks like 6Mb when it goes to print.
It prints OK to an A4 HP CP3505N colour laser.
I've got a call out with HP but they seem stumped at the moment.
Any advice would be great.
Many thanks

Hi,
if you will follow my correction, that not the printing itself is slow but the time for transferring the data to the printer, so I can serve with a solution.
Look attached file or to the following (english) thread. There is a new modified driver for the 2800, supporting 2 tray, duplex and sizes to A3.
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/119579-g5-very-slow-printing-h p-2800-a.html#post923300.
The german readme is included in the ZIP. The file should work on german and english systems.

Security set to allow high resolution printing but pdf won't print

We create a large number of pdf files to send out to
clients, etc. We have been using security on all pdf's being sent out, however, some clients are having issues printing these pdf files even though our security settings are set to allow high resolution printing. Any one have any ideas why? I cannot duplicate the issue for whatever reason, the files still print for me.

I discover I am suddenly having a similar problem as well.
I have recently migrated to a new Intel iMac/Leopard, I'm on a network and trying to print to a Tektronix/Xerox 7700 laser printer. I can print anything other kind of document on that printer as long as it is not a PDF.
When I open the printer window it says the job has been stopped. I choose the job and tell it to "resume" at which point the printer pauses itself. Once it flashed a window that said Operation Not Possible - client-error-something-something and then closed before I could see what the last two words were.
I am currently using Adobe Reader 6.0. I would love to be able to try to print out of 7.0 but there seem to be continual download problems in the form of constant connection failures. I also have Acrobat 6.0 STD - can't print out of either one.

Printing multiple copies results in slow printing

Hello!
We currently print a lot of color prints on our new printer (xerox WC 7345) but found out that it takes a lot longer than it use to take.
Example: We print a catalog with 56 pages 10x. (pdf 68mb) from Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.
The old printer would just send each page once, and the first set will print slow (the printer needs to calculate the images) but the other 9 set's will go fast.
The new printer send's each page separately and the printer needs to calculate each page, resulting in a very slow print job.
When we print from InDesign, we dont experience slow printing (just like the old printer)
Is there somebody else with the same problem or can anyone tell me were to look for?
Regards,
Reinier Steenis

Turn off the collate option will make you collate, but will result in a faster print job. If it works fine in ID, then I'd suggest you look at the two set of printer options.

Slow print 1350

HP PSC 1350xi all-in-one printer (driver version 2.0.4) started printing very very slowly and now is taking up to 20 minutes to print (before i lose interest).
Also tried, unsuccessfuly to print in test mode. Nothing came out.
When printing from computer, paper is moveing very slowly, and often jamming with multiple pages. Already unplugged to reboot, reinstalled the software. Relatively new ink.... spooling is very slow with flashing green light
using macBook Air with current operating system wired to printer by USB. Similar problems when using the wireless connecting through my wireless router. Similar problems with my wife's macbook air.

@slowhppsc1350
Welcome to the forums
I read about the slow printing issues you are now having with your PSC 1350xi. My suggestion for you, would be to try out the steps below in the guide for slow printing issues.

Extremely slow printing 8620c

I have purchased an Officejet pro 8620 a month ago and experiencing extremely slow printing ( 5 minutes per page).
I am using a Macbook air with wireless connection. The HP Officejet is also connected via wifi.
I have reinstalled the printer. I am using the normal printquality setting.
Who can help me?

Hello @MartijnAmsterda , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're having issues with slow printing. I would like to help!
I have a couple of questions that will help get to the bottom of this.
- If you make a copy through the feeder or glass, does it come out slow?
- What version of the Mac operating system are you using?
- Do you have any other devices on the network that connect to the printer?
I'd recommend powering down your Mac, and performing a power reset on the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then remove the power from your router. Wait 60 seconds.
After 60 seconds, plug the router in, let it start up, and begin broadcasting. Once it has begun broadcasting, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet.
Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar. Once the printer is up, power on the Mac, and try to print.
Please keep me posted. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
