Why does my printer print PDFs so slow?
Not sure if this is the right place, if at all, to post, if not forgive me.
I have a legacy HP LaserJet 1200 printer, that I've had forever and it STILL
makes excellent copies so I'm hard pressed to replace it.
However... when printing PDF docs, it takes FOREVER to print a page. Like
as long as 10+ minutes. But only PDFs. All other doc formatted files print instantly
as expected.
I assumed it was a memory issue, so I installed as much RAM as possible in the printer,
but this had no effect whatsoever 😟
I called HP and they don't have any new drivers or tricks to make PDFs print more timely.
Does anyone have any tricks or thoughts, other than buy a new printer. When I have to print
a PDF I just let let it sit and do it's thing. But right now I have a 40 page PDF and it will take all
afternoon, seriously. The copies BTW, when the do print are gorgeous and crisp.
Thoughts?
