Slow LPD printing

We are connected to a Xerox DocuColor 240 using the LPD protocol and we are experiencing very long spool times for everything we print. It doesn't matter what application. I can print from other Macs to this same printer and the documents sail right thru. Per Apple's advice, I deleted all printer drivers and reinstalled my Xerox drivers -- no change. I feel like we have it narrowed down to something on this Mac but I don't know what to try next. I have been on the phone with Adobe, Xerox and Apple and they all point at each other.

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...

How to set up LPD printer properly? I just upgraded to Snow Leopard from 10.4. I can not get my laser printer to work.

OK, here is what I have found. Since the printer is on an ethernet network it can not be seen since there is no more apple talk. I must set it up as a LPD printer. Xante tech support has told me how to do this but they are baffled by the fact that it will not print. I am using a Linksys wireless/broadband router.
These are my numbers:
IP 192.168.1.110
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.188.1.1
DNS Server" 66.103.237.2.66.103.251.130
Xante has suggested using 192.168.1.112 and the printer is found and the print queue is opened and the following message is in the print queue window: Network host '192.168.1.112' is busy; will retry in 10 seconds... Nothing ever prints.
On this list I have seen a successful connection in the past through an airport connection. I think that the number that Xante has suggested is not correct.
I am able to print to this printer through another computer on the network that has not been upgraded to Leopard.
Any thoughts? Thanks

The best answer to this question requires a little more digging.
More specifically, what spare inputs do you have on the TV, and what video card are you currently driving.
IMHO S-Video is going to give you about a poor a picture as you can get, mostly because of the limited bandwidth and the fact it's based around standard resolution TV (e.g. NTSC signaling).
The best experience would be via HDMI, but for that you'd need a video card with a DVI interface, plus a DVI -> HDMI cable. If you don't have a DVI-based video card and you're OK spending a few dollars that would be your best bet, although off hand I don't know specifically which card you'd need - most of the modern cards are PCI-X or PCIe and won't work in the G4.
If you don't want to replace the card then you'll need to let us know what kind of video card you have in it so that we can find the best match.

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?

Hi HPuser59,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are getting slow printing with your HP Officejet 7610 printer on Windows 8.1, and I am happy to help you with this slow printing issue!
Please take a look through this guide. Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue.

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.

How do I LPR print to an LPD printer?

Hi All,
Google has not been helpful here. How do I LPR print to an LPD printer?
Many thanks,
-T

Hi Mark, not positive, but I think this is how you'd have to do it...
Set the new printer up with an IP in the same range as the Router, but higher than any IP that would be haned oout. Say The Router is 10.0.1.1 & hands out 10 IPs in the range of 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.11, give the printer an IP of 10.0.1.50.
Then add the Printer as an IPP to the computers, or likely hp IP printer.

Forms / Reports 6i - slow starting printing & FRM-41211 Integration error

We are having a problem with Forms / Reports 6i that seems to be slowly getting worse.
When beginning printing, the CPU usage goes up to 100%. In task manager I can see IFRUN60.EXE or RWRBE60.EXE, or IFBLD60.EXE or RWBLD60.EXE taking up 70% or so of the CPU time with the rest being taken up by the SPOOLSV.EXE spooler service.
This can be observed when
* Starting the Reports background generator from the Forms runtime
* Printing from a "print form" function inside the Forms runtime
* Starting Reports builder
* Printing from Reports Builder
* Printing from Forms Builder
The big problem is launching Reports from the Forms runtime. If this CPU / Spooler wheel spinning takes more than 30 seconds or so (and it can on slower machines), Forms thinks that it has failed to launch Reports and gives the error "FRM-41211 Integration error: SSL failure running another product" Eventually the reports background generator will finish launching.
This happens on NT 4, 2000, XP, and 2003 server. I have tried this in a "clean" configuration where nothing else (no extra services or anything) is running at all and this still happens. We are currently running Forms & Reports Patchset 17.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Thanks.

More info:
This is one of the lines that is calling the report:
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'ORDER_PRINT.RDF', SYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, FILESYSTEM,ORDER_ID,'');
Here is another one:
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS
,'OE_AUTO_QUOTE'
,SYNCHRONOUS
,RUNTIME
,FILESYSTEM
,ORDER_ID
We have a client/server setup. We are running 6i forms and reports, with a 9 database.
There have been no changes to these forms or reports. And it doesn't happen all the time. It just happens every-so-often.
EDIT - I guess it has been doing this for the past 3 weeks. One user says it happens everytime she tries to print anything from a form......
I've searched the forum about this and there are a lot of unanswered questions. I'm thinking my chances are slim on figuring this out.
2nd EDIT - I looked at the documentation at
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=164945.1
everything seems to be right - according to that. So I'm wondering if this has anything to do with any sort of networking issues.....
.....3rd EDIT........
Still searching. It looks like this person has the same problem. http://www.webservertalk.com/archive149-2005-11-1283220.html
Having problems with the rwrbe60.exe
I'm wondering if there was some sort of patch Microsoft let out that is causing this issue?

Slow network printing (cups)

hi,
i have a Brother HL-2150N Laserprinter connected via a crossover cable directly to my laptop.
(KDE4, Kernel 26-2.6.29.1-3, cups 1.3.9-4).
Printer is configured as HP LaserJet Series PCL 6 CUPS (URI: lpd://192.168.10.2/binary_p1)
Printer works fine for normal Textdocuments (pdf, OOo, etc..) but when i try to print pictutes (e.g. scanned box for university (PDFs, size around 1-5MB) printing takes about 60 seconds per page under Linux - far to long for up to 40 pages!
Under Windows (/w official Brother Drivers) printing starts directly and there is absolutly no delay between the pages!
I have no Idee if this is caused by a network, driver, protocoll, (whatever one can think of) problem!
Help would be very much appreciated (i hate booting Windows for printing only)
CPU Load is around 4% (mostly desktop processes like firefox and kwin), no cups hickups here.
TCP flow rate is about 46kb/s (measured with iptraf during printing), after a 12 page document the cause traffic was around 50MB!

Slow down printing speed for Smart Forms

Hi,
Is there any command (etc.) to slow down the printing speed of an Hp laserjet when printing a smart forms?
I need that because when I print that smart form to fast I run into print out quality problems.
Many Thanks

hi,
take print out in a dot matrix printer instead of your laser printer without changing any settings.
Coz i tried this once, i was successfull. But, the printout will be very slow.

Officejet 6700 very slow to print does not scan to Imac

I just purchased a new officejet 6700 from Costco it takes at least 10 min to print if at all and does not scan to Imac the current osx is snow leopard 10.6.8 using an airport time machine as a my wireless router / backup I have charter internet with ARRIS modem model # TM502G its also very slow to run any functions in the hp utility I did notice that the home network ip and printer ip are different don't know if that is an issue or not any help would be appreciated thanx.

Hello kennethburland,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your concerns with your Officejet 6700 Premium.
What program are you printing from? Do you notice this issue occur from using multiple program(s)?
Please follow this entire HP document on Slow Printing. Make sure you choose your correct operating system.
You did indicate that your printer's IP address and your home network are different. The first three numbers of the IP address should be the same, but the last number(s) should be different. Please reference this HP document on Wireless Basic.
Are you receiving any error message indicating why you are unable to scan a document to your computer?
If you are receiving a "Connection Error", then please follow this HP document here. If the scanning software isn't responding, then follow this HP document here.
Please inform me your troubleshooting steps.
