Slow Reader printing

All of a sudden printing a PDF has become excruciatingly slow. It has always been a little slow, but now it is much worse.
Adobe Reader 8 - Mac G5 OS 10.4.11

If Adobe Acrobat Reader prints slowly try the following:
1.             Open a PDF file
2.             From the menu, select File > Print
3.             From the dialog displayed, click on the Advanced button at the bottom
4.             On the Advanced Print Setup dialog, make sure that “Let printer determine colors” is CHECKED.
5.             Click OK and OK to print the document.
This worked for me.

  • 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...

  • 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. Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.  Have a great day!       

  • 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.

  • Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces Simple RAID 0 VERY SLOW reads, but fast writes with LSI 9207-8e SAS JBOD HBA Controller

    Has anyone else seen Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces with a Simple RAID 0 (also happens with Mirrored RAID 1 and Parity RAID 5) virtual disk exhibiting extremely slow read speed of 5Mb/sec, yet write performance is normal at 650Mb/sec in RAID 0?
    Windows Server 2012 Standard
    Intel i7 CPU and Motherboard
    LSI 9207-8e 6Gb SAS JBOD Controller with latest firmware/BIOS and Windows driver.
    (4) Hitachi 4TB 6Gb SATA Enterprise Hard Disk Drives HUS724040ALE640
    (4) Hitachi 4TB 6Gb SATA Desktop Hard Disk Drives HDS724040ALE640
    Hitachi drives are directly connected to LSI 9207-8e using a 2-meter SAS SFF-8088 to eSATA cable to six-inch eSATA/SATA adapter.
    The Enterprise drives are on LSI's compatibility list.  The Desktop drives are not, but regardless, both drive models are affected by the problem.
    Interestingly, this entire configuration but with two SIIG eSATA 2-Port adapters instead of the LSI 9207-8e, works perfectly with both reads and writes at 670Mb/sec.
    I thought SAS was going to be a sure bet for expanding beyond the capacity of port limited eSATA adapters, but after a week of frustration and spending over $5,000.00 on drives, controllers and cabling, it's time to ask for help!
    Any similar experiences or solutions?

    1) Yes, being slow either on reads or on writes is a quite common situation for storage spaces. See references (with some of the solutions I hope):

  • Adobe Reader Printing Problem

    I have a PC with Windows XP SP3. When I try to print a PDF document, I get the following message: "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print." Of course, I had selected the pages to print.
    Recently, I had many problems with Adobe Reader 10, so I removed it and reloaded Adobe 9. Today, when this printing problem appeared, I did a restore on my computer, taking it back a few months. I still have the printing problem.
    Any idea what's wrong? Any idea how to fix it?

    I have Acrobat Pro 9, but the feature I am using is listed under my
    printers.
    If I go to Print, then in the drop-down list of printers, I have PDF -
    which essentially creates a new PDF document.  I don't really understand
    why it worked, but it did.  The Print - PDF is also available to Word,
    Publisher, etc.
    Hope tis works.

  • [SOLVED] Slow read speeds from a DroboFS mounted in fstab via cifs

    I've decided to move all my media over to my drobofs which I have and I've mounted the share on the drobo in fstab this way:
    //mydrobofs/Media /media/drobofs cifs iocharset=utf8,uid=af,gid=users,guest,dir_mode=0775 0 0
    The share is mounted fine at boot but my issue is now the read speeds are very slow. opening a video file with vlc takes 30 seconds or more before it starts playing. Before this was accessing the share on my drobofs via the network tab (samba shares) in Dolphin (using KDE4) and here the video files played immediately in vlc (no delay). The reason why I want to mount the share via cifs and fstab is to move music collection over to the my drobofs and since I'm using Amarok for managing my collection this is the only way to make Amarok see my Music collection on the Drobofs.
    Why am I getting so slow read speeds with cifs?
    Last edited by fettouhi (2012-05-07 05:54:00)

    I did some more testing and seems like the problem has something to do with how many video files there are in the directory. I have some directories with several 100 video files and here I get this long delay but if I play a file that is in a directory by itself or only a few other video files are there, then the video starts immediately (almost). Is there a way to turn off this behaviour in vlc? Is it generating a playlist or what?

  • Acrobat Reader Prints Strange Characters

    The Reader prints files in a strange character encoding which looks like nothing - )*&#$@^(%)&%@#?><{::} and characters you cannot find on your keyboard. When printing from other PC's it's working perfectly. It does that with all languages and all PDF files.
    Here is a scanned result of the printing:

  • Adobe Reader - Print Dialoge box is usable

    Yesterday I was running Reader ver. 10.1.3 on a Windows 2008 x64 Terminal Server.  All users Adobe Reader print dialoge boxes now open up very very large.  Any visible font is perhpas 10" tall (see screenshots below).  Drop down pick lists don't display text, and neither does any of the buttons (see screenshots below).  As long as you just want a standard print, you can press enter to activate the defaulted print button.  You can press the ESC key to exit the print dialoge form.  Printing is all being done to Networked printers and I get the same screen no matter what printer is set to be the default printer.
    Sometimes (rarely) the print dialoge box will display normal size, and it will display the page your going to print, but as per above, there is no text on the buttons or drop down boxes.  The sample screenshot below took up my entire 1920x1080 screen and is just a small portion of the dialoge box size.  I have to scroll around three screen lengths to get to the other side of the dialoge box. There is no verticle scroll bars, so I can't scroll down to the bootom of the dialoge box.  Nor are there any window resize options (see last screenshot below)
    Here is a closeup shot of the top LH side of the Dialoge box:
    Below is a screenshot of the top RH corner (I had to scroll three window lengths to get to it):
    The Word and Excel etc. Print Dialoge boxes are all working ok.  I have tested different default printers with the Reader Print Dialoge box window and get the same looking screen.
    The first thing I tried was to just reboot the Terminal Server (TS).  I was supprised to find that I had the same problem.  I tried upgrading to 10.1.4  and rebooted the TS.  I still have the same problem.  I see that someone else has sort of had a similar issue to mine:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4559861 But don't really see a response on how or if it was resolved.
    Anyone have an idea of whats going wrong and how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    As mentioned above, every now and then people will see a normal sized dialoge box.  Here are two examples:
