HP Deskjet Printing very slow on Print Server

Recently installed a Dlink DI-713P Router on home network and connected an HP DeskJet 882C to the print server LPT port. Installed S/W and ran printer test page w/o any problem. 🙂 Previously had the printer connected to PC using the USB connection.

First thing I went to print was a 2 page pdf file. It took a very long time to print. 🙁 I got tired of waiting for it to start, so I left and came back a few hours latter and it had printed correctly.

Are there some other printer settings or router settings I need to make to speed up process?

Thanks,

do normal files print ok? some pdf's blow up when prining across a network, and since the dlink has no way of buffering it it would slow down as your spooler sent it to it.... lotsa extra timeouts in there..

I've seen this happen in certain scenarios where the 2-3 page pdf blew up to 400+MB went spooled across the network and killed the print server sending it to the printer cause it had no local buffering device.

My suggestion would be to try normal word files and stuff and see how they work, if its only the pdf's then this is probably your problem, however I can offer no solution at this point.
 
Even word doc's do not always print properly. Went to D-Link's web site and found that the HP882C is NOT a recommended printer for the DI-713P. Have reconnected printer to computer with USB connection and things are working now. 🙁:|:disgust:
