Printing is so slow

Hi everybody
I am using Reports 6i and developed reports in PDF format but printing is very slow on DMP Printers.
Thanks

Sachin,
If your aim to print , then you can do it directly from reports using destype=printer.
This would be much faster.
In 9i, you can use PDF compression to compress the PDF and that might make the PDF file size smaller and hence faster to print also
If you want to view and print, you could also think of postscript output of reports, view it in postscript viewer, print

Pdf file size increases when printing resulting in slow print speed.

I have a .pdf that is saved at 27MB. When I send it to an HP Designjet T520 36in printer the file size jumps up to 136MB and the printing is incredibly slow. This does not happen on all files on a few random ones. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

It's entirely normal for file size to increase. PDFs are much more compressed than print streams. For some printers the print size is almost constant (a huge bitmap), for others, it's a collection of graphical items and the size varies enormously. Rarely anything you can do.

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

Printer running VERY slow

I have a HP LarderJet 300 and I just upgraded my MAC to Yosemite. The print is VERY slow. Color pics are not even printing.
I can not find if I need to upgrade the HP system?
Please help.

My 8620 HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer IS INCREDIBLY SLOW TO PRINT - TRIED EVERYTHING

I have an 8620 HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer It is connected via wireless set-up, with excellent signal strength. It is incredibly slow to print anything, especially PDF files that have graphics in them. I have the latest software installed, latest firmware updates. I have even uninstalled and re-installed, the issue is still there. This is an incredibly crap product, so I'd like to get this issue solved ASAP. Thanks,Brian

For example: printing http://www.nytimes.com/images/2015/07/04/nytfrontpage/scan.pdf Quickly goes 7.03mb/of 7.03mb... then just swirls the "printing" status on the printer's LCD screen, and takes 5 minutes to print...

Printing is very Slow on DotMatrix Printer

Hi,
I need to print the report directly on locally attached printer without appearing the printer selection screen. For this I implement the following code
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS); SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, RUNTIME); --- BATCH, RUNTIME
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, PRINTER);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF'); --- 'html'
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_SERVER, 'repserver');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=NO');
After execution , it gives the error " FILE DOES NOT BEGIN WITH '%PDF'
but when I simply use
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
Report is open in PDF format successfully.
1) How can I take the output directly on the printer.
2) How report can be taken fast on DotMatrix Printer,
( when if I take the print out from the PDF generated reports on only DotMatrix Printer it takes huge time, not the other laser printer. )
Kindly Help me
Regards.
Priya

I am printing to a R2400 with the same issue. I have everything up to date software, firmware, etc. I just updated to OS 10.4.5 and this actualy increased the speed by about 25% but it's still slower thtn should be expected.

Print times on slow network connection

I�m looking for some ideas on how to resolve a problem that I�m having in a production environment. I'm also not sure if this is the correct forum to be in so if i would be better off elsewhere please politly let me know :)
Background:
I have a group of users that are working over private 56k Frame Relays. We are rolling out are new printer to these location to support new documents that are required to be printing. These laser printers are replacing a generic text impact printer. The new document include a lot more information than it�s predecessor. The old report was 10 k and the new report is now anywhere from 85 to 170k. This new report is being prepared by JasperReports
Problem:
Obviously this report is going to take longer to download before it sent to the printer, any where from 20 to 30 second to be exact. But it gets worse� some of these location have 2-3 workstations sharing the line so these times could spike to as high as 85 seconds for a single document. This report is being sent back to the thin client through a stream that is started by a print applet on the page.
Other givens that I can not change:
The line speed can not be changed. I don�t have anyway of making these documents any smaller
Questions:
Can anyone think of any solution to lower the print time? Obviously there is no application problem as it is not an issue in location with a high connection speed. I have done packet tracking for these locations and the network can not be optimized any more than it already is.
Is there anyway to bring some of the responsibility to the client side so that we can send the information back in some other format to lower the network traffic� I�m grasping for straws here so any ideas are welcome,

"We are rolling out are new printer to these location..."
Is this mean that you have a printer in a single location and the users are sending print jobs over a slow frame relay?
If that is the case one way to over come this problem is instead of sending the print job to the printer from client location you can implement a some kind of a server side application through which the users can directly order print jobs. And host that application in the same location that host the printer. Basically it should be possible to send the generated document to printer directly without having to send it to end user and then to printer.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Printing Menu Painfully Slow

Hi folks, new here and first post... I'm having problems with my Adobe Pro V9. When I click the print icon, or select print, the dialogue box for the print menu is painfully slow to come up. Even on small size, low resolution documents it can take over 60 secs for the print dialogue screen to come up.
Does anyone know why this is the case? Can and how can it be fixed?
One of the IT guys here gave me a big load of tosh about why it does this but I know from experience that it has got worse since first install and that some documents spool up really quickly. Feedback and advice much appreciated.

I have had some issues, but nothing as bad as you. It may be that your file has a lot of graphics or such.
There appears to be a lot of preprocessing going on before the actual print that becomes the problem.

My printer is super slow

When I sent something to the printer, it takes forever to print. It has just recently started doing it. I have tried to go in and change the options from the control panel, but have not been successful. Please help.
Thanks,

Xerox 8560N (2.0.13): Print Dialogue Box: Slow/Sticking

Is anyone having any issues with the print dialogue box when printing to a Xerox 8560 since updated to the Xerox printer driver, 2.0.13?
Specifically: In any application, I open the print dialogue box and if I attempt to select any pull down option it hangs for about a minute or so and then lets me make the choice(s). If I simply open the print box and attempt to press "print" I get the same problem. The machine itself is printing fine.
Have attempted many of the usual fixes like re-downloaded the driver from Xerox, resetting printers, adding/removing printer (re-setting it up), permissions repair, &c.
It's not the end of the world, but it is annoying.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

My PSC750xi printer is very slow

I have used this printer for a long time with few problems. Of late it runs very slowly, suddenly picks up speed then slows down again. It's like it prints a few lines then stops for a while to think about it, prints a few more then stops again, and so on. I have read what I can on the web - replace the ink cartridge, unplug power and connection, wait 30 seconds, etc., but to no avail. Suggestions would be appreciated.
I run a home tower computer with XP Home SP3, lots of free RAM (2MB), lots of free memory (250GB), 1.8GHz, well maintained.

Officejet 8610 printing is EXTREMELY slow

My 8600 died, and I got an 8610 to replace it. I have it connected wirelessly to my laptop, and by USB to my desk top. Either way, when I print a document, it prints very slowly in fits and starts, as other people have also experineced. I have yet to see an actual solution to this problem on the forums. I have Windows 8 on both machines. And yes, I've followed all the other steps in the forum: making a copy, plugging into the wall, uninstall and reinstall. Please give me some ideas, or I'm returning this paperweight. It's faster to print it from my fax machine.

Hi @Gruenke,
I understand the printer is printing slow using a USB connection on one computer and wireless connection on another computer. You have already tried a lot of steps to try and resolve this issue. I can help you today.
Try printing a hardware self test to see if you have the same results.
Printing a Network Configuration Page.
Temporarily turn off the Antivirus software to make sure it isn't interfering.
Disable all the startup items. Click Here.
Try printing again.
If no change, turn the Antivirus software back on and enable the startup items again.
Make sure the ink levels aren't low, that might cause this issue.
What are the ink levels?
Are you using Genuine HP Cartridges?
For the networking, please try these steps:
I would power cycle everything.
Turn the printer and computer off.
Disconnect the power cable on the router for 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable again.
Turn the computer on, then the printer.
I would setup a Static IP for the printer to see if this will resolve the issue.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Go to Solution three: Assign the printer a static IP address.
Try printing again.
For the USB connection, try these steps:
First I would try another port on the Laptop to see if you have the same results. On Laptops, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and the USB cable is connected directly to the computer.
The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet.
Is the cable a 2.0 or 3.0 cable?
Check the power management on the computer to see if that is causing the issue.
Go into the device manager, under universal serial bus controllers, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
If the issue persists, try another USB cable. Just to rule that out.
If you are still having issues, set the driver to print directly to the printer.
Go to the start up screen, (tiles menu) type in "Devices and Printers", select settings, click on Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer, go to printer properties, click on the advanced tab, select print directly to the printer, apply and OK.
Let me know if that makes a difference.
Have a nice day!

AEBS (2nd Gen) WPS printing is very slow

I recently purchased an HP Laserjet Professional 1102w (with Airprint) when Apple updated the utility to support WPS printer pairing. Occasionally documents will take upward 10 minutes to print when there is little complexity to the document. The printer will complete a page then wait several minutes to do the next page in the job. I believe this is something to do with the router because it is not evident when using tethered USB printing.

That tutorial really doesn't do anything any different than using the WPS configuration. That tutorial is just the manual procedure for the setup. It did illuminate one possibility for the slow printing. If you simply press the sign in the print & scan preference pane and add the "nearby" network printer you desire then it defaults to the Airprint driver for the device.
If you instead click "add printer or scanner" and select the printer from proceeding menu then it provides the ability to change the default driver to the HP Laserjet P1102w driver. I printed two consecutive multipage documents over the network without any delay. I will monitor the performance over the next several times I print and see if this is the true solution to the issue.
Intially though, it does appear that there is an Airprint driver issue either with the printer's handling of the protocol or something specific the Mac driver release. I haven't printed many items from my iPad or iPhone, so I can't really isolate it to a general Airprint driver issue or an Airprint support issue with this printer.

LaserJet P3005dn speed to print is too slow

Have the printer connected direct to computer via usb. When I print 2 copies, it will take 5 min for first copy, then an additional 5 min for the second copy. Why is it so slow?

Wireless printing is very slow

My wireless printing to my canon mp830 through my airport extreme is VERY slow. about 3 minutes a page, and that's a text page. i've read that this happened in a recent update. but i can't find any info on how to fix it. could someone please help me. thanks.

OK, first are you positive that the HP software you loaded on your Mac is compatible with 10.6? That is a common mistake that has special, non-obvious ways to correct.
You could try to set a static IP address if the software is not an issue.
Please advise on the software and we will go from there.
