I currently have an HP870CXi deskjet printer, which works fine on Windows, and prints b/w and colour in Linux using the 850 ghostscript driver. The problem is, it's painfully slow under Linux. Under Windows it'll print a page of text in about 3-4 seconds; colour is somewhat slower but still several pages per minute. Under Linux, printing a page of text takes about 2 minutes. It seems that it prints line by line (moving the print head across the page for each scan line) while the Windows driver can print an inch or two of information in each head pass. Basically this makes it useless as a desktop printer. I'd like to move from Windows to Linux/Staroffice for my office work, but I can't tolerate waiting half an hour for a modest sized document to print. Anyone know what causes this? I'm assuming the ghostscript driver is poor quality for my printer; does anyone have Windows speed performance out of a deskjet? I'm considering replacing the printer to get round this bottleneck - perhaps with an Epson? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
