p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Epson 3880: very slooow print via Ethernet | |
I recognize this may be more of a network issue than printing, but… I have the 3880 connected via Ethernet along with 2 other printers. The other two (Xerox color laser and HP MFP) work fine. Periodically - when attempting to print to the Epson - it goes into a print one line at a time then pause, repeat, repeat … A 4x6 can actually take 5+ minutes to print and is horrible. The print monitor window shows the file spooling at a very slow pace. (Barely crawling as opposed to zipping thru normally.) Thus far this has been erratic and rebooting machine and printer has restored it to normal. Now, no joy.
I've rebooted the Ethernet switch with latest drivers, replaced the cable, examined the connection carefully on both ends, studied the printer's web page looking for anything odd under the TCP/IP tab. I'm not a master of TCP/IP but know it to be fairly stable. I've deleted the driver and reinstalled. (Latest version - no change.) I've tried a small JPEG to a 4x6. I've attempted it from Lr, Preview, and Ps with essentially the same results. Finally I found a long USB cable, swapped it for the Ethernet and bam - prints fine.
So I'm more than a bit mystified. In general Ethernet prints much faster than USB and I like being able to control my devices via the network controls.
Anybody experience this or have a great idea?
Thanks,
Robert
(Oh, OS X 10.8.5, Lr 5.3, Ps CS6) No other Ethernet devices are complaining.)
