Slow printing
Authored by: oculos on Mar 09, '05 06:43:40AM

See, this seems to be a solution for a problem I face since a long time.

I share an HP Laserjet 1015 on a Windows XP box. I print to it via SMB, using a gimp driver on my iBook (the native driver from HP doesn't support printing to SMB - go figure).

My printing is WAY slow. It was so slow - like printing a page and waiting 5 seconds to print the other one - all text pages - that I had to turn on that thing on windows which makes it wait for the last page before it starts printing, in order to preserve the printer, as it was turning the "engine" on and off a lot printing documents.

I'll try turning off IPv6 and see what it does. But did anyone have the same problem with printing to a shared windows printer?

Yours,

oculos

I had the same problem with my HP Deskjet 940C. In Windows it would print very quickly. In Mac, through windows shared, it would print fine per page but then crawl when it had to eject the page and move to the next one. I eventually just moved the printer ot my mac since that's where i use it most, but I will have to try this IPV6 fix.
