** Description changed: ubuntu 18.04 - Intel Xeon 8 core workstation - default driver for samsung ML-4600 The printer is an old Samsung ML-4600 USB laser printer, but it does its job. On a 8core workstation, printing starts immediately if it's text only. The print itself is always done in 10" or so. - A 26kB LibO doc, containing a tiny 8k image only, needs 2'6" till the - printer starts printing. With a 900kB image in the doc, the time is the - same. + A 26kB LibO doc, containing a tiny 8k image only, needs 2min 6" till the + printer starts printing. With a 900kB image in the doc, the time is + exactly the same. With scribus and the tiny 8K image, it takes 45s till the printer starts action. - When trying to print a heavy 2MB per page doc, it takes more than 10' - till the printer starts to act. + When trying to print a heavy 2MB per page PDF doc, it takes more than 10 + min till the printer starts to act. Odd - with top I cannot see any printing activity causing relevant cpu load, but I think at least one core should do heavy rasterizing work. I love linux to support old hardware - but this is not state-of-the-art, hope improvements are possible. Cheers, Wolf
