500kb Files Take Forever to Print

[William Bechtold]

> Hi, I'm running a home network with a mix of Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac machines through a switch to a Laserjet 2420DN with 64MB of internal RAM. The system in general works quite well; I can print from laptops and desktops, and if it's just one or two pages, things go quickly and well. And installation has been easy on all sorts of distributions.

> The problem is that when I try to print a file of, say, 500 KB or so, it takes 20-30 minutes to print, especially web pages with graphics. This holds true for all the machines. Yet if I print from a Windows machine with a USB connected Laserjet 1320, it prints immediately with virtually no delay. My primary machine is a 2GHz dual core with 2 GB of ram, and as I mentioned above, the printer has 64MB of RAM installed, so there's plenty of memory all around. Is there something that I can do to speed up this process? Have I not set a flag or buffer size correctly?

I'm sorry, I neglected to mention that I'm using the Postscript driver if that matters.
