I'll direct this question to Art because I know he's dealt with this problem before, but I would welcome any help or insight from all of you. Here goes:
Art,
When you and I met at Ricoh U. last May, you were asking the instructors about a problem one of your clients was having with printing .pdf files at the rated speed of the copier. Did you ever resolve this problem?
I have a client who is trying to print 300-500 page .pdf files and the 1035 I just sold them only prints them at about 6-8 pages per minute. I feel part of the problem is with the time it takes the computer to spool and rip the file (using the RPCS driver, but the PCL is no better). I emulated their problem in my office, and was printing other large .pdf's at 35 ppm so I assumed the problem was with their network or computers, but when I took my laptop to their office and connected it directly to the 1035 with a crossover cable I got the same results they are getting (however, my .pdf's still print at full speed...their files are chugging out at about 6-8 ppm).
Does this sound familiar to anyone, or is this something I am lucky enough to be facing exclusively? All help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
