I don't know what kind of PC you are using, but parallel port support is slow and process intensive. The reason for this is parallel port hardware is not consistent between mother boards. So parallel support is reduced the to lowest common denominator. All parallel port I/O is done with low level User Mode software via the ppdev kernel module. So a slow PC will not help.
USB I/O is faster because there is better kernel support for USB. All USB I/O takes place in Kernel Mode via the USB hardware controller. -dave > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of George Anzinger > Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 2:39 PM > To: hplip-help@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Hplip-help] Really slow HP OJ R80xi > > System version/ HPLIP version and printer info in the hp-check.log. > > Printer works but takes a very long time to do anything (30 > min. per page for simple black and white text).
