Hello,
More than a year ago I purchased a used HP Laserjet 5MP with a low
page count (15k). I connected it to my Debian server, configured it
in Cups and all was well. It wasn't a speed daemon, but it printed
a page every other minute if it wasn't too loaded. I have upgraded
the memory to the max (24MB) and that speed it up a bit.
Lately, the printer slowed down drastically, the new rhythm is one
page every 15-20 minutes! These are PDFs, with some small graphics,
nothing out of the ordinary.
I moved the printer from my Debian server to my Ubuntu workstation. I
then moved it to a Windows laptop. It is all the same.
When I spool something, it starts blinking the data port and it just
sits there. Maybe when the moons align just so, it spits out a page.
Has anybody seen this problem? Does anybody know how to fix it?
Should I just take it to the curb and let the trash truck run it over?
Thanks,
florin
