Printing slow

Adobe Reader and Acrobat are printing extremely slow from Windows 8 to HP Officejet 8630. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi chxqbl,
In the print settings try bypassing spooler and print directly to the printer and check.
What is the pdf producer of the documents you are trying to print and the size?
Does it also occur if you are trying to print a 1 page sample pdf document?
What happens when you try to print to Adobe PDF printer first and then print the document to the printer?
Regards,
Rave

HP Photosmart 8750 prints slow when using Photo Gray Cartidge

HP Photosmart 8750 prints slow when using Photo Gray Cartidge ... sometimes indicates Black Cartridge failed, however upon reinserting works slow

Welcome to the HP Forums ButchG,
I see by your post that when printing with the photo gray cartridge the black cartridge will indicate that it has failed.
I can help you with this issue.
I would do a power reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
With the printer still turned on, disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer, if the printer has external power module with a detachable power cord disconnect it for 15 seconds and then reconnect it.
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds to drain the power.
Then disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet.
Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable back to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and power it on again.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
I have provided a document for the cleaning the contacts and reseating the cartridge.
'Cartridge Failed' or 'Cartridge Not Compatible' Error Message.
What are the ink levels?
Are you using Genuine HP Cartridges?
Check the date on the cartridges to make sure they are still in warranty. (not old stock)
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Flash 10 Prints slow

My C# program uses AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash to run SWF files.
The SWF file has code inside it to print a report.
Everything was fine in Flash 9.
But when some computers are upgraded to Flash 10 the print jobs are slow.
the Flash 10 print slowness is caused by the print job size going from 512 KB to 128 MB in size.
In most cases I can't uninstall Flash 10 because other apps need Flash 10.
Is there a way to speed up the print jobs or reduce the size of the print job in Flash 10?
Note: only some computers have the problem.
It happens on XP, Vista, Win 7

Hi, I wouldn't think the chip would matter, since Flash Player is a browser plugin. An ActiveX Control Installed in IE and a SWF for the non-IE browsers. Flash files are Installed into the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash for all browsers and they work with those aforementioned add ons.
What may be affecting your performance is the hardware acceleration that is turned on by default. You can turn it off and see if there is an improvement. You can use this Adobe test site and when you see the Adobe Flash logo, Right click on it and Settings, Display Settings. UN check the box. Also while you are there the site will tell you what version of Flash Player you have Installed. You can do this for each browser.
Without checking I don't know what chip I have, but I use XP/SP3/IE6/Flash Player vs 10.1.82.76 and have no problem.
I know there are many XP's out there and MS is doing there best to have everyone to upgrade:-) Also, IE9 I hear is coming out of beta on 9/9/10, Win8 is being prepared and the last day to buy a new XP, I think is October this year. Forgot the date. IE9 will only be available for Vista and Win7.

Pixma Pro-10 prints first print slow

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some help with my Pixma pro-10 and I'd be eternally grateful if anyone could solve my problem.
I've had the printer for just under a year and in the past 3 months the issue has started happening more often.
The printer intermittently prints slow, and it seems to happen when I change paper sizes. Lets say we're printing multiple copies of the same print, the first one will always print slow, then consecutive versions always print at normal speed.
My set up is MacBook Air 2GHZ 8GB RAM running latest version of Yosemite 10.0.2
I have tried:
Reinstalling printer driver by resetting printing system in system prefs.
Reinstalled canon print studio pro.
Changed USB cables
We have two macs and its the same on both macs.
It happen's when we print PDF's from preview so we're thinking its not specific to canon print studio pro.
We genuinely only ever use canon inks.
I have contacted Canon and they suggested sending it away for repair which is an option but I want to exhaust every avenue before I do that. It just seems like a software issue somewhere and it making me tear my hair out, haha.
Thank you so much for any help anyone is willing to give.
Regards,
Mark

It is possibile the printer is faulty. No doubt. You know, anything made by the hand of man...............
But you probably have the exact same software, drivers, on either and each machine. I still think I would go there first. It is going to be a pain to mess with getting the printer to a service person if it truly is the culprit. You need to be sure.

Prints slow

prints slow and was previously faster. any suggestions on how to speed it up?

I too have a slow print problem with a CP2025. Prior I had CP2605 and CP1215 that worked really fast but the colors started fading on the 2605 so I purchased the CP2025 to replace it and installed the universal driver. Now not only is the CP2025 printing slow but so does my other printers? I didn't change a thing on those. The CP1215 sometimes doesn't print and I have a heck of a time deleting the print jobs. Anybody have any Ideas? BTW: I is on a LAN and USB, both experience slow issues and I can not seem to get the CP2025 to do what I want. Sometimes it will print on both sides and sometimes it wont'. I use Windows Vista, XP, 2000 and 7 and all do the same thing. If I try to print a two sided copy it will print the same thing on both sides unless I make sure to set it to Collate and that isn't the default! HELP!

Photosmart C6150 printing slow even when using printer controls

It started out intermintently printing slow using the PC and the front panel copy button, as if it was switching into high resolution mode. I checked the driver / printer prefrences and found nothing in high resolution mode. Recently we have been doing alot of copying from the front panel, not from the computer software, and it got worse. I checked the quality setting in the printer and even set it to fast. It would then print a semi-fast sheet (as if it was fighting itself to print faster but couldn't), then a fast sheet, then the next sheet would be slow again. After a few times of doing this, it finally stopped printing normal or fast and now it's stuck in high res slow printing mode. I printed a self test diagnostic page and it printed in less than 60 seconds and showed nothing. I have also chaned out the drivers on the PC and still nothing. Could it be a firmware issue and is that something I can flash?

Hello , Welcome to the HP Community. I hope you have a pleasant experience here. I understand you are having an issue with slow printing on your HP Photosmart C6150 All-in-One printer. I'd love to help you with this. First, I'd like you to try printing a self test page again: HP Photosmart C6100 All-in-One Series - Printing the Self-Test Diagnostic Page If the test page printed in less than 60 seconds, then I would suggest following the steps here to troubleshoot the driver and settings on your computer:HP All-in-One Printers - Slow Printing in Windows: Computer Issues If the issue persists after these steps, I'd recommend replacing your USB cable (with a smaller one if it is over 6ft long). If the test page took longer that 60 seconds to print, then I would suggest following the steps here to troubleshoot an issue you may be having with the printer hardware:HP All-in-One Printers - Slow Printing in Windows: Hardware Issues Another thing I would suggest, if the printer is slow even from the printer, would be to make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. The printer does have a power moderator built in, so when plugged into a power surge or battery backup, it can often not get enough power. Please respond to let me know if these steps help to resolve your issue!Have a great day.

fine execpt printing to print que, prints slow takes 20-40 seconds to
print also some of the forms that pass threw the printer are not correct
it has been having a hard time figuering end of page prints on 2 pages not
on 1,the only things diffrent with this computr is clint 4.9 with sp3 and
XP Pro, The 98 machines work fine. Also in the past I have used Nprinter
to redirect to a lpt port this does not load under XP andy suggestions?
The version is old it is for Win 95

Excel printing slow

Hi all,
I'm using Macbook 2.53 with Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Everything is fine except MS Excel printing slow and after printing, I have to close then re-open the file in case I need to modify something in that Excels file because the printing job cause the very slow moving, select... Is it the common problem of Mac or particular mine? How to solve that problem? Please help. It's MS 2008 for Mac, was installed by dealer.
I used many printer like HP, Canon... and it's also slow on printing preview. The printing preview quite small and can not adjust Margin like in Windows?
Thank for any help!

Dummy post

On the printing slowness of Postscript produced by the JVM from calls to Graphics.drawString() (Linux/Unix)

Happy new year,
before the holidays my attention was drawn to an issue that supposedly the Postscript produced by the JVM is too big and hence too slow. Here are my findings.
The issue
Text printing via CUPS to native Postscript printers can be slow. Printing a terms and conditions page (17000 characters/page) takes three and a half minutes to print on a Dell 2330 dn laser printer (96 MB,Max speed 33 ppm). The file is about 8 MB in size. To contrast that, rendering the text to a buffered image with 300 DPI and printing the result produces 7 MB of output which prints in 30 seconds on the same printer. More measures for different printers and documents can be found at the end of this post. The issues is registered as "JDK-4627340 : RFE: A way to improve text printing performance for postscript devices" (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4627340) and the proposed workaround is to use printer fonts.
Side remark regarding the workaround
There is a regression that prevents the workaround from working (bug 9008662 at Sun (not yet visible), bug 8023990 at OpenJDK (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8023990). Without knowing what other bad side effects this might have, the issue can be resolved by setting the property "sun.awt.fontconfig". On my system I set it to the location of a "fontconfig.properties" of a JVM that does not have the bug (e.g. /home/alex/openjdk_7_b147_jun_11/openjdk/build/linux-i586/bin/java -Dsun.awt.fontconfig="/etc/java-6-openjdk/fontconfig.properties" Print2DtoStream). I also successfully tested the workaround on an Oracle JVM 1.7.0_03-b04.
Back to the main topic
How the JVM draws text if it can't use a standard printer font
Text is drawn with postscript path drawning commands such as "moveto", "lineto" or "curveto". As an example consider the word "ll" which looks something like this:
%N->short for "newpath"
N
%paint first "l"
%M->short for "moveto"
0.76875 11.06 M
%L->short for "lineto"
0.76875 2.468 L
1.823 2.468 L
1.823 11.06 L
0.76875 11.06 L
%p->short for "closepath"
P
%paint second "l"
3.649 11.06 M
3.649 2.468 L
4.703 2.468 L
4.703 11.06 L
3.649 11.06 L
P
The same text could be printed with a printer font using the command "(ll) show" which is much more compact but is available in Java only for the Postscript standard fonts and it isn't working at all right now as explained above.
Is it the file size?
My first thought was that the file size was the source of of slowness and so I wrote a small processor that would detect glyphs, normalize*1 them and place them in a dictionary. Recurring references to the same glyph were replaced by a dictionary reference (This is incidentally the fix proposed by the original author of RFE 4627340). This shrunk the file to about 11% of the original size but the processing time surprisingly doubled.
*1: With "normalizing" I mean applying a translation transform so that the smallest coordinates in the contours of a glyph are exactly 0. In addition I experimented with performing a normalizing scale transform so that all coordinates lie between 0 and 1 so that identical glyphs are detected at arbitrary positions and at different font sizes.
That led to the question to why there is such a big difference in performance between a Type 1 font dictionary and a self constructed dictionary since both contain basically the same drawing instructions. The difference is apparently that fonts are cached and user drawings are not unless explicitly told.
The Postscript "ucache" instruction
Postscript level 2 introduces the "ucache" instruction which seems to be defined for precisely this kind of problem. From the documentation:
"Some PostScript programs define paths that are repeated many times. To optimize the interpretation of such paths, the PostScript language provides a facility called the user path cache. This cache, analogous to the font cache, retains the results from previously interpreted user path definitions. When the PostScript interpreter encounters a user path that is already in the cache, it substitutes the cached results instead of reinterpreting the path definition. "
After adding "ucache" instructions to my filter the speed improved by factor 10.
To illustrate the said the "ll" text from above looked as follows after the transformation:
%definition of the glyph "l" named "p0"
/p0
ucache
0.000 0.000 1.054 8.592 setbbox
0.000 8.592 moveto
0.000 0.000 lineto
1.054 0.000 lineto
1.054 8.592 lineto
0.000 8.592 lineto
closepath
} cvlit def
G
N
0.769 2.468 translate
%draw "l" at 0.769 2.468
p0 ufill
-0.769 -2.468 translate
3.649 2.468 translate
%draw "l" at 3.649 2.468
p0 ufill
-3.649 -2.468 translate
For ucached shapes there is a special compact representation so that the same can be written as follows:
/p0
0.000 0.000 1.054 8.592
0.000 8.592
0.000 0.000
1.054 0.000
1.054 8.592
0.000 8.592
} cvlit def
G
N
0.769 2.468 translate
p0 ufill
-0.769 -2.468 translate
3.649 2.468 translate
p0 ufill
-3.649 -2.468 translate
Interestingly the speed improvement remained the same on a Chinese report that had hardly any character reuse. Upon this observation I changed the filter to not use a dictionary but so simply instruct the interpreter to cache each glyph definition and the performance remained nearly the same.
The initial "ll" text from above looks as follows after this transformation:
N
%paint first "l" cached
0.76875 2.468 1.823 11.06
0.76875 11.06
0.76875 2.468
1.823 2.468
1.823 11.06
0.76875 11.06
} ufill
%paint second "l" cached
3.649 2.468 4.703 11.06
3.649 11.06
3.649 2.468
4.703 2.468
4.703 11.06
3.649 11.06
} ufill
Note that I didn't normalize the shapes.
Why does this improve the performance so vastly if the shape is drawn only once? For a while I thought perhaps that the interpreter would consider two paths which differ only by a translation as being the same but rereading the documentation and looking at the Chinese example in which nearly all characters are unique, disproves this. The relevant part of the documentation reads:
"Caching is based on the value of a user path object. That is, two user paths are considered the same for caching purposes if all of their corresponding elements are equal, even if the objects themselves are not.
A user path placed in the cache need not be explicitly retained in virtual memory. An equivalent user path appearing literally later in the program can take advantage of the cached information. Of course, if it is known that a given user path will be used many times, defining it explicitly in VM avoids creating it multiple times.
User path caching, like font caching, is effective across translations of the user coordinate system, but not across other transformations, such as scaling or rotation. In other words, multiple instances of a given user path painted at different places on the page will take advantage of the user path cache when the current transformation matrix has been altered only by translate. If the CTM has been altered by scale or rotate , the instances will be treated as if they were described by different user paths."
An explanation that would fit the findings
The rasterizer renders the page multiple time (perhaps in order to save memory and produce horizontal strips). On the first rendering the cache is filled and reused on the subsequent renderings thereby improving performance even if all cached items are used only once.
Based upon this theory I hoped that the strip height would grow if I added more memory to the printer but this was not the case on the two printers for which I had memory to test with. Even substantial changes to the available memory (e.g. going from 32 MB to 96 MB) had no impact whatsoever on the performance.
Summary
The issue is not related to the file size as the original requester suspected but very likely due to the uncached rendering. Caching of glyphs can be achieved by using the "ucache" instruction or perhaps by placing the glyphs in font dictionaries and using the "show" operator.
Although reported in 2003, time is apparently not healing this quick enough since printers in the 10,000$ class like the Sharp MX2310U still take a full minute to print 10 pages and a desktop printer may be blocked for over an hour for the same document.
We will now try to use the CUPS filter and leave the printers configured as Postscript printers. If there is interest I can post the single file source of a CUPS filter that performs the inline conversion described. Apart from libl it requires no additional libraries and written using flex it is reasonably lightweight and fast.
I would appreciate any opinion on whether or not the proposed workaround for bug 8023990 (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8023990), namely having the system property "sun.awt.fontconfig" pointing to a working fontconfig.properties of a previously installed and working 1.6 version file, is safe.
Measures (Appendix)
"Terms and Conditions" report
Testing a single page "Terms and Conditions" report in "Arial" 8pt (I am aware that "Helvetica" is width compatible and nearly looks the same but in this particular case the line height was also relevant and as explained above, printer fonts are currently not working). The page contains 17000 characters of which some parts are bold and some italic. This is a real world example and to make things worse the requirement is to print the text on the backside of every page on a certain class of reports. I am aware that this is a bit extreme but I also felt that I couldn't dismiss it as being unreasonable.

Hi Sven,
Will putting the boilerplate in the trailer section allow me to still have it appearing on the back page of the main report? This is where it needs to be as far as the printed report goes - it is duplexed.

Color HP LJ CP3525N printing slow on network for one but not another

This one hasn't been touched upon that I have notced. I currently have a Color LaserJet CP3525N setup on Server 2003 R2 with PCl6 drivers being used. This just started occuring for people on the same subnet as this printer. The print jobs go very slow and print a single page about ever 3 minutes. If I print to the printer with the same drives setup from the same server it prints with no delay. My system is a Windows 7 64 bit and the other systems are also Windows 7 64 bit as well. Before this week it was printing for many months with no problem. This printer is used quite often and I am now being stopped from my daily work and having to have the files emailed to me to print. I have searched other forums and threads and notbody else seems to have this issue. I have stopped and started the printer spool on the Server and that didn't make any difference. The server it is on is the main one we use to share out all of our network printers. Any thoughts or ideas? I have also replaced the 4 toners to see if that resolved anything as suggested by others and still not dice at this point.
Thanks in advance,
Marcus

Did a fresh install and still having the same problem. Giving up now. Mod can now close this thread

Printing slow on HP LaserJet 4100 MFP wired ethernet

When I try to print to our deparment printer HP LaserJet 4100 MFP - it is extremely slow. Printing a document of 10 pages takes about 20 seconds per page. Our printer has harddisk embedded and around 100 MB Ram.
I first noticed printing from Pages was slow (printing a MS Word document), but also first printing to PDF and letting Preview print it was slow.
I am connected to the printer using wired ethernet - and the jetdirect protocol. I am using the latest driver.
regards,
Anders

I have the same problem with a new, firmware updated, HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP. Curiously, two-sided printing works fine with "Paper size: Letter" whereas it fails for "Paper size: A4". For A4 paper size every second page is a mess of stripes.

Printing slow after Snow Leopard Upgrade

Hi! Newbie here! I recently upgraded my 2007 iMac to Snow Leopard and as a result my Canon BJC-2100 printer has slowed to a crawl. It seems the software adjusted the print quality to the sharpest setting but this also slowed the process way down. I don't see anything to help me adjust the print quality or otherwise change the printing speed.
I would love to hear from forum members as to how to speed the printing back up a bit. Am I doomed to have to buy another printer?
Thank you!

Thanks. Yes I went to Canon's web site and plugged in Snow Leopard for my printer. I received the following message:
"There is no driver for the OS version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver."
Too bad there doesn't seem a way for me to change the printer's settings back to the way it was.

Printing slowed down again upon install of 10.6

When I originally bought my macbook, the printing on my Brother DCP-115C was extremely slow & went at about 1/3 it's usual speed, even on fast printing. After doing software update, though, this cleared up with updated drivers.
Now having installed Snow Leopard, the printing has gone back to it's slow speed again, despite having a newer driver version. There are no new drivers on software update.
I'd prefer to just have the old driver back that I was using before, is there any way to do this?

If there another diagnosis besides CPU process usage? My activity monitor is showing less than 2% CPU usage (and at least the same amount of idle RAM as occurred with Leopard). Yet my fans are running continuously at 6000 rpm which I believe is the top speed. Before, with Leopard, even if the computer got pretty hot the fans only ran about 2000 rpm and even then, not for long.
Isn't it bad for the fans to run flat out all the time? Is there another diagnosis?

Printing slowed down recently

Gang,
I have a 1.6GHz G5 PowerPC running OS 10.4.8. I print through the Ethernet network to a HP 2300dtn. It has worked flawlessly for a couple or more years now that we've had it.
Sometime in the last week or two the printing process has slowed to a crawl. It takes upwards of a minute or two for the first page to print, then sometimes equal amounts of time for subsequent pages to print from the same job. These same documents used to start printing almost immediately and would print out at the rated speed of the printer (something like 4 or 6 pages per minute).
I have looked at the printer's status box (the thing that comes up when you click the printer's icon in the user\library\printers folder) and it spends a lot of time toggling between Preparing Data and Sending Data. It takes a bit on Opening Connection, too (if I'm remembering the terms correctly).
I've downloaded and reinstalled the HP driver to no avail.
Any other thoughts? I know there were a couple software updates recently, but I don't recall what they were (iTunes, maybe a Quicktime update, others?).
TIA,

I posted prematurely. Since then I tried printing to another 2300 and a 2200 on the network, and they printed quickly like they should.
The problem appears to be isolated to this printer and not my computer. Strange thing is that other users on the network (all Windows users) do not appear to be having a similar problem printing to that printer.
