Printing compressed PDF over network extremely slow

Compressed PDF (PDF/A-1b) takes a long time to print. A document on 1 page is stuck in the printer for several minutes before it is printed. Normal PDF's print normal.
Everything looks normal from the computer, and the job is sent to the printer as fast as other jobs. It is first when the printer starts processing the job it takes a long time before anything happens.
OS: WinXP
Adobe Reader 8.1.2
Adobe Acrobat CS3

It's worth checking whether Acrobat is seeing these as PostScript
printers anyway. This isn't a problem in itself, but does affect where
to go next (indeed, I have no knowledge on how to troubleshoot PCL
printing).
Do File > Print in Acrobat and click advanced.
See if the "PostScript options" tag can be selected in the left hand
side.
If so, it is worth seeing whether selecting level 1, or level 2, makes
a difference to print speed.

  • Print: Compress PDF Option is Gone!

    Print: Compress PDF is Gone in Leopard for PowerPoint. I used it often. I tried to compress in Preview but the resolution is way too grainy. Help!!!!!!

    OK - one step forward!
    You need to create a new "Filter" in Colorsync. Start Colorsync, select Filters, press the + button to create a new filter. Give it a meaningful name like "Compress PDF Medium Quality".
    Click on the down arrow at the right and select Add Image Effects Components.
    Choose Image Compression from the list - image Compression attributes will appear.
    Change MODE to JPG (it works for me)
    Change the QUALITY to near maximum (you may need to experiment with this)
    Close this new filter by clicking on the arrow at left.
    Now OPEN the PDF with the Colorsync FILE/OPEN menu selection.
    Select EXPORT from the Colorsync FILE menu
    Your new filter should appear in the drop-down menu for Quartz Filter
    Doing this reduced a 1Mb PDF to 450Kb and the image quaility was acceptable. The built-in filter reduced it to 280K but image quality was poor.

  • Pdf's are extremely slow to open and attach in outlook 2007

    For the past two weeks, Pdf's are extremely slow to open and attach in outlook 2007.  currently have Adobe Acrobat X Standard and Adobe Reader X running on windows 7, using microsoft office 2007.  is anyone else having this issue?

    In an effort to try and solve this I have converted the four reports to native POJO datasources. I thought that maybe the report was looking for the ODBC data source upon which the reports were designed. The ODBC approach was used to help speed up design and development. Now that the DB schema is up and running I can use the POJO and eclipse for preview.
    No change in startup and exporting on the QA system.

  • Print: Compress PDF Option Help - Leopard

    hello,
    as a preface, we're a photography company that routinely saves PDF files with images to send to clients for approval.
    i understand that with leopard, they removed the Compress PDF option from the print menu. i followed the instructions, opened it up with Preview and saved as reduced file size. the images all came out VERY grainy. with the Compress PDF option, the image quality was great.
    so i went and restored Compress PDF using this link: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/compresspdfworkflow.html
    however the images still come out as grainy as they did with the "reduce file size" option. anyone have any advice on how to get it working like it did in the previous OS?
    thanks much

    I had more or less the same issur.

  • Impdp over network: sometimes slow

    Hello,
    I've just made an experience, that impdp over network is sometimes slow and sometimes fast:
    My configuration:
    I have a "source" database (lets say A), with version 11.2.0.1, and two "destination" databases B (11.2.0.1) and C (11.2.0.3).
    The data size is about 100 GB. Import from A into B needes about 4.5 hours, and import from A into C takes about 1.5 hours.
    The data which is moved are identical. I've also checked the wait states, and we have found out, that database B makes a lot of log switches
    during import, which is the reason, why database B is such slow. On database C there are almost no log switches.
    B has log switches frequency about one in 2 seconds. C has aprox. 6 log switches in the first 30 minutes (during DATA load).
    That database B has logswitches, and C not let me think about Direct Load versus External Table Load, which is described in the documentation.
    But this seems different when using network_link: the trace of the DW process does not support this information (but should, as described in 552424.1).
    I think, there are some bugs/features fixed/changed between 11.2.0.1 and 11.2.0.3 regarding load strategy over network_link.
    There might be also a chance, that a initial parameter is different between B and C causing to different behavior, but
    Does anyone have a similar observation? Does anyone know about this "change"?
    Additionals:
    The users have all the same grants, the data are exact equal (by FLASHBACK_TIME), remap_schema and remap_tablespace are used at both.
    Ulrich

    Hello,
    Database A is in archive mode, B and C not.
    The problem is in the data transfer, not at index generation.
    For C, the data transfer is 30 min, Index generation is about 1h.
    For B, the data transfer is about 200 min, Index generation in about 1h.
    I have one new information: We have switched back after this to dumpfile transfer, and interesting: With dumpfile, the import is done with Direct Path.

  • OfficeJet 4500 will not print two sided over network

    I'm running on Windows 7 with an OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z over WiFi.  Printer works great except that it will not print two sided.  We've used a non-WiFi 4500 to print two sided before.  With the new printer the first pages print and the pop-up shows on the laptop (prompt to flip paper over) but nothing happens.  The second pages never print.
    I've run all of the HP print and network diagnostics.  Everything appears to be OK.

    The solution below was found on the sticky post at the top of this board "Fixes and Workarounds from HP"
    I think the patch below only applies if you have the original printer software installed, I assume this issue was fixed in later versions of the printer software, Read the patch information carefully.

  • Podcasts downloads over WIFI EXTREMELY SLOW on iPhone 4 & 5

    IPhone 5 - podcast app - 26mb episode = 20+ minutes over WIFI
    Why is it soon slow???!!!
    I use the same wifi for other downloads and streaming iTunes so it is definitely not network issue
    Furthermore on the same iPhone other apps and content download fast over the same network
    Why would apple limit download speed or not be capable to fix this for so long???!!!
    This issue is very old (+18 months) and it kills experience

    I would blame iOS 5. It's software is a lot to handle on a simple 1-core, A4 pocessor. The nanno's simple software makes syncing much quicker with fewer steps. If you really wan't your music on fast, you can just reduce their quality a little.
    Thank you for choosing Apple.

  • Problems printing from firefox over AirPort Extreme

    Hi - Just got my shiny new MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.1) and AirPort Extreme (7.2.1). I'm a switcher from a PC, and still intend to keep my desktop PC, with my printer (HP PSC 1510) connected to both over the AirPort's USB port.
    I'm having trouble printing from Firefox 2.0.0.11 from the PC only, but all my other applications on the PC and the MacBook Pro print just fine. Firefox on the MacBook Pro prints ok. I'm guessing it's an AirPort problem, but not sure...
    Any ideas?

    Hello Todd_1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I'm having trouble printing from Firefox 2.0.0.11 from the PC only, but all my other applications on the PC and the MacBook Pro print just fine. Firefox on the MacBook Pro prints ok. I'm guessing it's an AirPort problem, but not sure...
    Based on your description of the problem, it sounds more like the issue is the printer settings in Firefox, rather than the AirPort base station. Since most Windows applications rely on the printer settings within Windows, you may want to first double-check those to verify that they are correct. However, your current settings appear to be working if you're able to print from other Windows applications other than Firefox. You may also want to double-check your printer settings within Firefox as well.

  • Canon printer cannot communicate over network when plugged into time capsule

    I have just bought a new canon ix6550 and it will print fine when connected to my macbook pro but when i try to print when it is plugged into the timecapsule it will not communicate and I keep getting the error "Unable to communicate with the printer at this time". I have tried re installing the driver and can see the printer fine in airport utility.
    Any help would be appreciated as I am getting seriuosly stressed out with it! Haha!
    Cheers Ben

    Are you connecting the Canon printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule?
    If yes, did you also install the printer again using System Preferences > Print and Fax at the Time Capsule location?
    If yes, are you selecting the correct Time Capsule location when you look at the print dialog to print?

  • Deskjet 3050A J611 cannot be contacted over network

    I'm running Windows 7 64 Bit.
    My subject is the error message that is displayed after I run troubleshooting on my printer.
    Printer worked fine over network for 6 months on my old laptop(Vista 32 bit). Now it will not print from either laptop.
    Tried all manner of solutions I could find on these boards but have made no headway.
    HP Print and scan doctor loops me back to the "select method you want to use to connect your product" after I select my printer and click "Next" on the screen that says "the following products are visible from your computer". 
    Printed off Wireless network test results and tried to create a static i.p. but my browser cannot find anything when I type the printer's i.p. into the address bar. 
    I hope someone out there has an answer.
    I've invested too many hours into trying to solve this problem already and am about to take my printer out to a field and bash it with a baseball bat Office Space style. Then I'll give a Canon a try.

    Bump
    So a Canon it is then?

  • Video sharing extremely slow over network

    Hi Everyone, I've had a quick search through the forums to try and see if anyone has been having the same problems with me when trying to share videos (music videos, tv shows, movies etc) over a network. In itunes 7.5 I used to have no problems sharing my music or videos, now it seems like the videos are extremely slow to stream or simply won't stream at all The library shows up and music streams perfectly, but videos just seem to take forever to load, if they even load at all! As you can imagine this is a little annoying, especially if I want to sit in my theatre room with my mac mini and watch a movie streamed from my macbook pro. I've tried changing the network on my mac mini from its usual cabled network connection to using the airport, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Has anyone else suffered with similar issues, and if so, is there any way to resolve them?
    Thanks in advance,
    Best Regards,
    Oliver

    You already made that point. The issue is that is not helpful if you want to use Front Row and/or a Mac as a media centre. Your workaround is fine but it is klunky. The one suggested of downgrading to QT 7.3.1 is elegant but very slow as unless you can get Pacifist to work (which I could not) it means an archive and reinstall of Leopard, and downloading all the patches again with the crucial exception of QuickTime. The good news is that Leopard does this much, much better than any previous Mac OS X and all your settings and even third party preferences should work fine. The 7.3.1 installer is still available online of you Google "QuickTime 7.3.1 Leopard". This will work perfectly unless you are renting movies.
    So, the choice is klunky, or an hour or so of re-installing.

  • HP LaserJet P1102w prints EXTREMELY slow over Wi-Fi

    I've been struggling with this problem for a long time, but today this totally freaked me out. I was ready to throw away this piece of ..printer! Problem is simple. When I'm trying to print wirelessly something with graphics (jpeg pictures or photos) from my iPhone, iPad iOS 8.4 or MacBook OS X 10.10 Yosemite, it takes forever! Word document, PDF, from Preview or other programs - same result! I just couldn't pring 9 page document today, after 20 minutes I gave up. What's happening. Let's say I'm using mac. Print task goes to printer queue, as usual. After that, this task shows in queue as "connecting to printer", green light starts blinking on printer, as usual. This is taking a minute or two, that's what unusual. After that, "starting printing page 1". It can take 1, 2, 3 minutes... forever! Next, either ONE page actually prints (for 5-7 minute mark at this point) and it takes same time to print page two and so on, or (likely) it will spit out unfinished page (only couple of inches printed and the rest of the page is blank) and show an error, orange light blinking. UGH!!! I gave up on iPhone/iPad long time ago, since they can't show print queue and therefore it's unpredictable result. You can wait 10 minutes for your document, then leave, and later on just find the document printed when you no longer need it (or half of the document). I do not have this problem when printing just text, emails, simple confirmation pages from safari and so on. Only when printing document with graphics or heavy pdf. I do not have this problem when connecting printer via USB (discovered this today). Now what really bugs me, it's the fact that I was actually able to print heavy PDF from Windows machine with no problem, wirelessly (I did have problem printing exact same document from my mac). WHAT IS GOING ON?! I've googled this problem and found that I'm not alone. I've updated all software and firmware, I've tried to reset everything - NO DICE! This is really very frustrating. I was thinking this is because of small memory of the printer, but why it works perfectly via USB then? Anyway, this is a cry from the heart. Please help. The printer is good, but unusabe in some situations.

    Hello ! Welcome to the HP Community.I hope you have a pleasant experience here! I'd like to help you with the slow printing that you are experiencing when printing images to your HP LaserJet P1102w wirelessly from your Apple devices. Thank you so much for the detailed description. Since the printer is able to print fine wirelessly from the windows machine, we know that the issue is not with the printer or the communication. The fact that none of the Apple devices are able to print images wirelessly without it being really slow, leads me to beleive it may be an Issue with the AirPrint driver or Bonjour protocol that your Apple devices use to communicate the information. Picture files are much larger, and a lot more data needs to be transmitted, so it is normal for them to take longer to print than a regular text document. However, if there is a marked difference in speed between the Windows computer and the Apple devices, then the issue is likely not just that the files are larger. I'd like to get you to make sure the printer is installed with the correct driver on your Mac. (Because there is no full feature HP software available for Mac 10.10 the operating system will often default to the AirPrint driver) Click the Apple icon on your Menu Bar.Select System Preferences.Select Printers and Scanners.Select your printer and then press the (-) button at the bottom of the list to remove it.Select the (+) and click Add Printers and Scanners. (NOTE: Do not select the printer from the list of Nearby printers as this will often automatically use the AirPrint driver)Select your printer (the one that shows Bonjour Multifunction under "Kind").At the bottom of the window under Use: does it say AirPrint? If so, click the drop down and you should see a specific driver for the printer. Click Add.Try printing an image again, and let me know the result.If this works to resolve the issue, then I would suggest downloading the HP ePrint app on your iPhone and iPad to print. It may be an incompatibilty issue between the AirPrint on your Apple devices and your router. I look forward to hearing back from you, and working towards a resolution for this issue.

  • Experiencing extremely slow pdf printing on new HP 8625 officejet -

    Getting very slow printing of pdf's.  Tried setting in Advanced tab to let printer select color.  This did not help.  Using latest version of Adobe Reader and latest printer driver from HP.  Anyone have suggestions?  HP was no help in an hour chat.  They blame it on Adobe.  Makes no sense since my 9 year old HP Officejet had no such issue.

    Any chance someone on "Staff" might address this question?

  • Spooling a job to an AirPrint enabled printer is extremely slow (HP or Epson)

    Spooling a job to an AirPrint enabled printer is extremely slow (HP or Epson). 
    I am a technical support person for the CEO and other executives of a large corporation.  I've set up AirPrint capable printers in several homes and seem to be coming across the same issue in a number of these homes.  More often than not (the issue is intermittent) when I try to print something from an iPad or iPhone to an AirPrint enabled printer it takes almost a minute for the job to spool.  It doesn't seem to matter how long the document is either as the same thing happens whether it's one page or ten.  At times the iDevice cannot even find the printer even though the WiFi connection is excellent and the network is functioning properly. We have tried HP and Epson AirPrint devices and it happens to both.  When printing from a laptop wirelessly over the network, we do not experience this issue so I don't think it could be a network problem. 
    In any case, the network setup in these homes is fairly simple.  We have a wireless router, a gigabit switch connected to that which feeds various rooms throughout the home.  The rooms have Ethernet connections and we have APs set up in some of the rooms to ensure full wireless coverage.  In a few of the older home we use PowerLine APs to expand the network. 
    I've seen others with the same issue but have yet to see a fix.  We've tried updating the firmware on the printers, routers and APs but nothing has helped.
    HP Printers we've been using: PhotoSmart 7520, OfficeJet 6700 Premium
    Epson: Stylus NX430
    Does anyone have any other advice? 
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Once the job hits the printer it prints immediately.  It's right after you tap Print on the iPad that takes a long time. There is a box that pops up saying that the job is being processed (don't remember the wording exactly).  Once the box disappears it also takes a bit of time for the job to hit the printer. 
    The actual process of the printer printing is normal. 
    Also, in some cases the iPad won't even see that there is a printer connected to the network even though the printer is powered on, online and the iPad is connected to the home network.  Usually a reboot of the printer fixes this problem.
    Thanks

  • Windows Explorer EXTREMELY slow at copying files from network, but robocopy works

    Hi guys,
    I'm having a REALLY BAD performance issue when copying files over from SAMBA 4 to any Windows 7 computer. To copy a folder containing 50 files with a total of 10 MB using the explorer it takes about 20 minutes (!!) at a rate of 3-5 KB/s, but when using robocopy
    the same folder takes like 3 seconds to complete. Also, the issue does not occur with older versions of Windows, like Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
    Please please please come up with some ideas except the usuals like disabling Remote Differential Compression, disable autotuning using netsh, setting local security policies for NTML authentication or trying new switches / upgrading network drivers or windows.
    I DID IT ALL, but nothing helped!
    Thanks in advance!

    Linking in your post over on Server Fault in case it gets resolved over there first ;)
