DesignJet T520 36 "tracer: DesignJet T520 36" takes hours to print my PDF graphics files

It wasn't a problem for a few weeks after I installed the drivers on 2 users PC.  Then both started having this problem.  The PDF file can be 20 MB for example and the print job in the queue is create a "spool" file that is 5 times bigger and 2 hours to print.  All of my PDF files do so.  A 20.4 MB PDF created a 537 MB file when sending to the printer.  Only a night or more than 5 printed pages.  Don't forget, he did not this time at first.  We also tried printing directly on the plotter via a USB cable.  No improvement.  The driver has been installed a few weeks ago and downloaded from the HP website.  And two HP computers, a laptop and the other an Z210 workstation, take the ridiculous time even to print.

Is there a setting on the printer or in the device settings on the PC that could be the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello

That's right, according to the amount of data is on the file, when it reaches the spooler starts a larger file, the numbers you give does not sound weird.

That's what you can try:

1. at the computer, go to printing preferences > Advance > Max. Resolution enforcement > select 300

This wil help you reduce the amout of data sent

2 - If you print from Adobe Reader, go to file > print > Advance > select print as image

It will be flat image and can help with the issue

3. before saving the file in PDF, flattening the image in a single layer. And if possible, reduce the dpi.

I hope this helps.

Best regards

    Hello

    While appearing more precisely this question is in fact not.

    There could be hundreds of reasons why they seem to be delayed.

    Some info on when they are sent, how do you know that they have been sent, if you compare it to another device would be useful.

  • Netflix is HD quality immediately, itunes movies take hours - WHY?

    Why do Itunes movies/tv shows that I buy or rent take hours to play, whereas Netflix can play in HD quality now?  I know that Netflix has adaptable download, but the quality of the shows/movies Netflix is HD (IE, netflix shows being do not appear in less good quality so this isn't the answer).  In fact we can play several different shows from Netflix on our ipads and via apple TV at the same time without any problems or no loss of quality.

    Is there a way to 'stream', while I don't have to wait for half the show/film download before I can start watching itunes purchases?

  • Updates for Windows 7 take hours to install

    I have Windows 7 installed on my new Packard Bell.  Download updates takes hours and hours and if I don't download strange things begin to happen to programs - is this normal or do I have a computer problem? I had to restore the system on three occasions already.  PC World say to install (50 + updates) for a week, the problem could have allowed.

    Hello Chrissie D,.

    Time depends on the speed of your computer, the internet connection, the number of updates installed and the time required to download updates of the questions too. Some updates may take some time to install though.

    If the installation is freezing, try troubleshooting Windows Update tool before installing the updates.

  • my printer takes half an hour to print a single page

    My hp5510 suddenly began to take half an hour to print a single Web page.  Yet, sometimes it prints quickly.  The colors are also washed in or very weak or very dark, even though I have installed two new ink cartridges.  It happened after an update of Windows, I think.  HPDR shows no problems with it.

    Hello hsmof5.

    Please, try to remove and reinstall the cartridges and perform the alignment of cartridges from the Toolbox.

I tried to remove some previous backups and it and it seemed to work OK and then all of a sudden decides to do the same thing.

    I bought a used computer with Windows 7 and take hours to search for Windows updates... more than 6 hours, and it is always check the updates.

    I found that the last time updates have been verified for was there over 2 years (2014) and then by "updates have been installed", it gives the same date by said IMPOSSIBLE. Does this mean that updates cannot be installed on this computer?

  • HP Deskjet F2210 network printing takes hours of work

    My printer is installed on my computer with Windows 7 64 bit.  When you ask to print from the laptop of my daughter (Windows 7) or our other desktop (Windows XP) on the home network, it takes over an hour to print a single page.  This would be a problem of wireless router?

    Hello Snow1963,

    Sorry to hear about the time long impression (exceptionally)!

    While I tend to agree with you that it looks like a network problem, there may be one or two things we can check.

    I've noticed that I personally also had problems with my home network and my hp printer if I use a DHCP assigned IP address server: the problem with DHCP addresses assigned is that the printer can get a * new * IP addresses after having been turned off, etc... that still confuses your PC on your network, because now they think that the printer is on x.x.x.x and it is now really on x.x.x.y.

    IP addresses static for the printer is probably the best way to go (but this is just my opinion).

    Some troubleshooting tips:

    If both PC's connected to the router (1 fastprint, 1 slowprint):

    -Invert the wires between the PC and see if the problem results from the PC or follows the thread.

    For the laptop slow-printing:

    -Disable the antennea cell phones (usually it's a WIFI button on the laptop or maybe an icon on the taskbar).

    -Connect the cable to the router directly on the mobile phone.

    -Assuming that the laptop gets addressed IP assigned and everything is connected, try the print job again.

    [If you still have the same problems with printing on the same PC, so the problem points to a bad configuration on each router/machine]

    [If printting time increases dramatically after completing the steps above, then this points to a problem with wiring or misconfigured network address]

    You can also check each configuration of portable PC/computer printer properties:

    In the "Devices and Printers" folder, click on the right click on the printer icon & select "printer properties".

    -Click on the "Advanced" tab and ensure that "spool print documents'... and"Starts printing immediately"are checked.

    -If you have changed this, apply & save settings and try again.

    ++ Snow... you've noticed something missing jumps in my first answer: RESET the unit!

    -Yes, sometimes simply unplug of power (to the wall) and let it reset for 10 minutes or so, can get back to a working state.

    Good luck
