HP Deskjet Prints Slowly |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The HP Deskjet printer prints the first eight lines at normal speed, then it slows down and prints one line, then pauses for about half a second and then continues with next line and then pauses again. This repeats until page is finally finished. The process to print a full page takes about a minute. Solutions: There are two options that can help his printer print faster. 1. Put MODE Lpt1:,,p in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. 2. If he has expanded memory, start WP with the /W=*.* option. This printer is a line printer. WP formats the page and then sends the data to the printer, as fast and as much as the printer buffer can hold. The HP Deskjet has a 16K buffer, the HP Deskjet + has a 32K buffer. If you print the same document from the same machine as the HP Deskjet is hooked up to, and change only the printer physically to the HP Deskjet +, you will find that it prints faster. WordPerfect uses background printing so your system does not lock the whole time that you are printing. Products that lock your system when printing will print faster. WPCorp considers background printing as a feature. Please send the customer new disks to help him with this speed issue. Disks to send: Program 1/2 |
