+1 We have some engineers who print out of Inventor/AutoCAD and it takes 10 minutes to print a document to one of the Canon ImageRunners while that same document takes 10 seconds to print to an HP Laserjet. If you have the opportunity to change to a different printer type just to test, see if that does it. Good luck. Jason

Use the PCL5e driver. I found that is much better. Latest is not always greatest!

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 [cid:[email protected]] Mark Scott IT Manager +1.919.232.5900 +1.919.232.5901 fax Hughes Pittman & Gupton, LLP<http://www.hpg.com/> 1500 Sunday Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, North Carolina, 27607 [cid:[email protected]] IRS Circular 230 Disclosure: To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS, we inform you that any tax advice contained in this communication (including any attachments) was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein.
