Hello All

I have a problem with printing under /Lucid Lynx.
/My printer is an HP1200 with 72Mbytes of RAM ( the maximum).

Printing is extremely slow (many minutes a page) and the job often terminates before completion. I always select 'urgent' and the 'Document Print Status' window just sits and sits with 'processing' being displayed.

Printing the same file under MS (shudder..) to the same printer, the delay is very small.

/Has anybody any ideas?

Thanks

Check which driver you are using for the printer - make sure it is PCL, not PostScript (PS). The LJ 1200 supports PS, but it is slow due to its rather under-powered CPU.

You can check your drivers and loads of other cool stuff at http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/ - choose your printer then select Administration -> Modify Printer, then Continue through the pages until you get to the model selection screen, and choose the recommended driver (pxlmono). If that one is already selected, choose another non-PostScript ones.
