Slow acrobat printing

Extremely slow printing of PDF documents on networked HP 5000 DN. Printing about a page a minute. Files have been reduced in size using Acrobat.
No recent software changes.
Printer is networked using HP Jet Direct print server.
Printing in other pplications is just fine.
Acrobat 7.0 Professional with all updates is installed.
All current OS X updates are installed.
OS X Disk Utility has been run and and all permissions have been checked and repaired.
Thought.. suggestions?
Thanks
Mike

It really depends on the complexity of the document as well as on the amount of memory the printer has installed. My guess is that the printer doesn't have much memory.

OfficeJet Pro L7700 Slow to print

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro L7700 Series printer that is extremely slow at printing, and causing the print spooler service to pause or freeze for several minutes.
- All the clients are running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
- I have tested printing via an ethernet cable as well as wirelessly
- I Have installed the latest driver from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=2512...
Here's exactly what I am experiencing:
When I click print test page the properties window of the printer freezes for 30 seconds to one minute. If I move the window around it says its not responding. Approximately 1 to 15 minutes later I receive a message that the print job has been successfully sent to the printer, and then the printer prints the page.
I have attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the software and driver as well.
Any thoughts/suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated.

Hi @VexedHPUser
Perhaps the Microsoft Fix it utility will help;
What it fixes
You are unable to install a printer, connect to a printer, or print more than one job at a time
You receive an error indicating your Print Spooler service is experiencing problems
You receive an error indicating your is not the default printer
You receive an error indicating: cannot be contacted over the network
Identify if your printer is turned off
Identify if your printer toner is low or empty causing your print job to appear faint or it does not print at all
Identify if your printer paper is low or empty
Identify if the printer has a paper jam which is preventing it from operating normally
Identify if a print job that is in the print queue is preventing other print jobs from printing
Identify if you need to update your print driver
You receive an error stating that your Plug and Play printer %PRINTERNAME% has encountered a driver problem
If the issue persists, I think it might be a good idea to reach out to the Microsoft Community.

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...

My acrobat printer uninstalled itself and I can't get it back working...How do I fix it???

Hi edhones,
Please update Acrobat to v11.0.09 and check.
You might want to repair Acrobat from the 'Help' menu and check if it installs the pdf printer back or not.

System crash while printing to Acrobat printer

This is something that has annoyed me for a long time, sometimes while printing to Acrobat (making a PDF), the computer hangs and I have to turn the power off on the computer to shut down. I had this issue with version 7 and when I updated to version 9 the problem seem to go away. Now the PDFs that version 7 crashed on, version 9 wasn't. Tonight that all changed version 7 and 9 are hanging on certain web pages.
The question, is this a problem that's a setting issue or an Acrobat bug or a Windows issue or an explorer issue?
BTW this is a recently installed XP SP3 machine with only Adobe CS4 and Office 2007 on it, nothing else.
Joe

Well apparently it has something to do with the Internet Explorer, sort of. If I use Apple Safari it doesn't crash/lock up. But then again Safari is sending page images to the Acrobat printer, while the IE is sending the text as fonts. I also got stuck using winnovative free HTML to PDF Converter as another work around the #$%^ I paid for. Maybe it's not #$%^, but it's still annoying that I've had this problem since version 7 and I'm using version 9 now.

How to get Acrobat print dialog in Safari

I am asking this question here as well as in the Win forum as I do not know if it is a Win ony issue:
When IE or Firefox is displaying a .pdf the browser print button, file/print and ctrl-p take you to the Acrobat Reader print dialog and the .pdf itself is previewed and printed. In Safari Win they take you to the browser print dialog and a blank page is previwed and printed. Given the futility of telling users to use the Acrobat print button instead of the browser print button or File/Print, is there anything I can do with the .pdf to get this to work under Safari?

hi all,
thank you for replying. i got rid of the print dialog box by filling in defaults->spool control->output device in the user profile->own data. And i just set the following in my code:
ltp_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
ltp_control_parameters-preview = 'X'.
And also previously i mistakenly reset ltp_control_parameters-preview to 'LOCL' (refer to my previous post).
regards,
sid

Acrobat Printer doesn't recognize SWF as a printable file form

Acrobat Printer doesn't recognize SWF (even if a static/single frame file), as a printable file format! Please fix the issue,
I am confronted with 'The file cannot be printed. Please try opening the file with the correct application and printing from there' and The issue is encountered while dragging one/many SWF into Acrobat Printer's printing list. Its displays that troublesome error.
And, please add CRTL+P feature to print an SWF from Flash Player Standalone.

No, that doesn't work for me. And things seem to be inconsistent. Where it lets you vary the file size (small/medium/large/actual) when large and actual are the same, it doesn't send the actual jpeg file for windows to open. When large and actual size files are different when you toggle between the two, the file seems to go through to my windows pc ok. When I tried this through preview, that's when I noticed this difference, not through just email or Aperture yet. Help!

Adobe Acrobat Print Preview not supported

I have Adobe Acrobat 8.2.0 and have been having this issue (not really a problem but it bugs me) where when I go to print a PDF and click on preview before sending the document to the printer I always get this message pop up that says "Preview is not supported." I just like to be able to get an idea of what things will look like before potentially wasting paper.
Is this normal and expected or is there something I can do to get print preview to work?

It's normal and expected because Acrobat has a more powerful printing and preview capability than Preview, so running output through Preview would just dumb it down.
If you set up your Page Setup right, the preview in the Acrobat Print dialog (Copies and Pages) is pretty effective for predicting print size and position relative to the true print margins. For color previewing, if you use Advanced/Print Production/Output Preview in Acrobat it, too, blows away the soft proofing in Preview.

Help, Adobe Acrobat printing issue

My adobe acrobat printing mess up after I update OSX Mavericks.
All the setup is right for regular print, but multiple image comes out.
Printing via photoshop is normal.
Here's a photo
Anyone have idea what's going on?

The printer is brother hl2270dw. It works fine with acrobat, except the acrobat plug-in under safari. Which means I can not printing file directly from safari, that I have to download then print.

Very slow wireles printing MG7500

Hello, Two days ago purchased the MG7520 printer. Set it up today and it connected to my wireless (Dish network, satellite). Printing a regular Pages document is pretty slow, but printing a photo is nearly impossible - so very slow it would take 30 minutes to print a 5 X 7. I printed a Network Configuration Page, the signal strength is 100%. I'm running OSX Yosemite on my MacBook Air that is connected to the printer. Not sure what to do next - any suggestions? Thanks to everyone here in advance :-).

Hey, thanks for your help! I tried re-connecting the printer to wireless and moved it somewhat closer too with an unobstructed view. It still printed slow but faster than before, so I think it is definitely the wireless connection. But, just to make sure will pick up an ethernet cable this week and try that. Will also try the USB when I have time later in the week. I have to say that the photo I printed today is exactly the color of the subject so I am VERY pleased with the color printing capability of this printer. And, also very pleased that everything is working fine on the printer regarding both document and photo printing. Thanks again!

Extemely slow 7610 printing with pauses

We recently purchased a HP 7610 printer to take advantage of the wireless and wide-format capabilities. Both of our PC's are running Windows 8.1. We purchased and installed the two-sided add-on for duplex printing. We do not need/want the ePrint capabilities/web services. Web Direct is off. Our local network traffic is very light - no games or movies.
The 7610 is connected via our wireless router, and is extremely slow when printing. It takes at least one minute to begin actually printing although the display inidicates it is printing so it is doing something. Once it begins to print, it prints all pages but pauses for 15-30 seconds after printing about 2/3 of the last page. It finally flushes the buffer or whatever it is doing before it finishes printing and ejects the last page. This happens when printing from any local application or from the web. Our old reliable 7310 (hardwired to the router) prints smoothly and quickly.
We installed the driver from the CD shipped with the printer, and have also de-installed and then re-installed using the driver downloaded from the HP website so we believe the driver is current.
How can we eliminate the delay when it begins to print and eliminate the pause when it's almost finished? Do we need to forget about the wireless connection and run a cable to the 7610?

Photosmart D5160 very slow to print

My printer takes forever to print, either from internet or Word doc. Sometimes the computer 'drops' the print request several times before printing as well. I've reinstalled the drivers but nothing has changed. Any suggestions about what I should do next much appreciated.

Hi @EastDevon,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Photosmart D5160 is very slow at printing. I am happy to help you with this issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know:
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 test page prints at normal speed or if it is also slow. How To Print Internal Tests.
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.
In the meantime, please take a look through this guide. The Printer is Printing Slow.
Hope to hear from you soon!

Very slow in printing

I connect to the printer through wireless. Printing a word document from laptop takes very long time. I noticed that only if I start the HP 2545 Series application and click on the what's printing and select the print document, then only it proceeds with printing. Even then it is slow in printing. Scanning is faster with same wireless connection. I suspect there is no driver available for 2545 and I am using HP Deskject 2540 driver only (Ver 32.2) downloaded from internet. Please create a driver for 2545 model or provide me a solution

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I understand you're finding your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 All-in-One Printer's performance to be slow when printing from Word. I would like to assist you with this. Is the slow printing you're encountering limited to just printing from Word or is it happening when printing from other programs? You do have the latest printer driver, but have you updated your printer's firmware? I recommend you click here to complete a firmware install. For best results, complete the firmware install via usb connection. Note that when it comes to the speed in which it takes a printer to print, there are more factors than just the printer's driver contributing. I also suggest you run the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows using the same link above to install it. This utility is designed to automatically detect and correct common printer setup issues, up to and including print queue and print spooler problems (Windows related). If these basic steps don't improve the printer's performance, my colleague has posted a work-around in another thread that might help. You could try the alternate print driver she suggests and see if this yields any change in your printer's speed. Click here and follow Step 1 Clear Temp Folder and Step 2 Add Alternate driver as directed, substituting the different model mentioned therein with your printer's model name. Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post. If I have helped you resolve the issue, feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon below and clicking to accept this solution.

Slow pdf printing in Acrobat 9.2 on OS 10.5.8

When I try to print out a pdf that I have opened in Acrobat 9.2, the printing process takes hours, regardless of the printer that I'm using. If I use Mac Preview with the same document, however, the document prints out in under a minute. I am not the only one in this office to have this problem. Any help will be much appreciated, since this problem is slowing things down tremendously.

For me that didn't solve the problem. Printing with Preview works just fine, printing with Acrobat Pro 9.2 takes forever... I have no idea how to solve this issue...
Have you checked to see if there is a Print Driver Update for your printer for OSX.6. Anslo make sure your up to latest X.6 version I belive its 6.2 now (may be 6.1)
