Yeah we have a couple of those printers and they exhibit
the same problem - amongst others.
I phoned HP one time (and actually got to talk to someone who
knows something) about a bug in the postscript interpreter.
(having to do with setting fonts) The problem is that in those
printers the postscript interpreter is an HP emulation of
postscript III - or at least that's what he told me. (Ie. they
didn't install the Adobe chip). I said to him "Oh that
explains it". He asked what I meant by that and I told him,
"well everybody knows that although HP makes superb hardware
for some reason they can't write decent software to save their
souls".
What I think is happening is that the the memory is being
fragmented and as a result it goes slower and slower. So far
the only solution I know is to reboot the printer. What a
bummer!!!
What *I* would like to know is "is there a sequence I can send it
that would cause it to reset" - equivalent to a reboot - that
way we could get the driver to do it every once in a while and
avoid this nasty.
Trying to get anything from HP is like talking to a stone.
Anyone else??
