What happens if you use another PDF reader to print?
Is it faster?

Is it just me, or why do PDF files print so much slower than everything
else?

 

I have a user who is printing Adobe PDF v1.6 files (Acrobat 7) to a
Canon imagerunner 5020 copier.  User is on a very nice XP SP3 box with
the latest PCL6 canon driver, printing directly over the network using
RAW port 9100.  The canon copier has 256MB of memory, a 100Mb nic and a
few finishing options attached.  Word and Excel files fly threw the
copier at normal speeds of 50 pages per min, but the PDF is about half
that speed.  Pausing a second or two between every 2 or 3 pages.  The
user are printing text PDFs only.  I've taken a windows print server out
of the way and still slow.  I have tried different drivers like the
latest PS driver, HP LJ III, HP LJ 4, ect but still slow.  I'm leaning
towards the copier's CPU just being slow, but any tricks out there to
help it along?

 

Options currently set:

            Auto-Rotate & Center is off

            The only finishing is to offset the pages between print jobs

            Print quality is set to text (opposed to graphics)

 

TIA, Mark
