Hello all,
My HP DeskJet 612C printer is printing unbearably slow (0.033 PPM). I have a stock installation (GENERIC KERNEL) of FreeBSD 5.3 straight off of the install CDs, and I have installed very little software thus far. I have mainly followed the installation instructions from
http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~ranga/notes/freebsd_cups.html
It basically prints one line at a time, then pauses for a while, and
makes some noises, and then repeats. The whole single test page took
over 30 minutes to print. Does anyone have any insight/info that they
can give me to solve this problem or point me in the right direction of
solving it? I have Googled and done some searching and did not come up
with anything. I checked the CUPS documentation and forums and did not
see anything either.
Anthony,
I too have this issue. I tried with my HP 1100, 1300 and a 4050 on 3 differant PC/laptops. The thing is, one of them, like yours, was a generic install w/gnome and I tried bot apsfilter and CUPS.
Yet, everyone I have spoken with has no idea of the issues I'm dealing with. So for now, and untill I pop on 5.4, I'm gonna leave my printing for Windows.
Yes, I tried the install via the Handbook, read the docs for apfilter,
and the closest I get to printing is via CUPS - and with the same issues
(and worse then you). Mine happen to be the "GO" light flashes for 20
minutes befor anything spits out. *shrug*
Perhaps the quality setting is locked on high resolution? This would probably make the printer print quite slow if its an inkjet.
