Our ward was just given a new LaserJet 1320 from the stake for our MLS computer. I used the HP install CD and the drivers installed with no problem. When we print reports or directories the print jobs take much longer than with our old LaserJet 1020. It will print one page, pause, print another page. It is quite a long process. I looked at the settings on the printer and it shows 16 MB of memory on the printer but only 5.58 MB available. The print jobs of the directories are sometimes 15 - 20 MB. So my guess is the printer is running out of memory.
Any thoughts on how to remedy this?
Thanks,
Russ Jones

Slow printing HP 1300 - solved
Change to the PCL5 driver (download from www.hp.com). This will speed up printing quite a bit.

It might be parallel because it is a fairly new printer(2 years old). Let's just say it was not USB and changing it to USB seemed to help.RussellHltn wrote:I didn't think any modern laser printers supported serial.
I'd think parallel should be fast enough, but it may depend on what mode it was operating in.
