Trust my rage

I'm mostly just curious here. I have a HP laserprinter plugged into my iMac desktop. I routinely print wirelessly. Lately, though, it has been taken several minutes to print one page, particularly with .pdf documents.

It's not a huge problem because I can always just plug the printer in to my laptop but it's sort of a pain and printing wirelessly is so easy.

Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Could there be a lot of graphics in that pdf? Try printing a page of basic text, no images, and see if that takes several minutes. Maybe a page of b.org. Do the same page on both computers, (not at same time) and see if there is a substantial difference. I would think the wireless print would be a bit longer, as it communicates with the mac.

When was the last time the iMac was rebooted? Since you are using that as a bridge, maybe there is processes slogging it down, that effects wireless printing.

These are just guesses. Not an IT person.

Nonian,

Mac has come up with a NUMBER of HP printer updates. Are you up to date?

I think so, but now that you have mentioned updates, I think it slowed down since I selected a particular driver over the generic one. I will have to mess around with that some.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'm considering getting an iPhone. I can get a referb through AT&T but I'm kinda hesitant. Should I wait and get a new one instead of a refurbished one?

Anyone here have an iPhone for sale?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have had no problems with refurb products I have purchased through apple (and this includes an ipod touch).

the 8 GB iphones are a great deal right now. I got one for Beau. 8 GBs is a little limiting for me, but if that size is okay for you, it is $49 with a 2 year contract.

They have a 16G for $49 with a 2 year contract. That is the refurb I'm looking at. Or I can get a new 8G for the same price/contract.

Suzi, not sure which model you're looking at, but I'd go for an iPhone 4 over a 3GS.

I would too, java. If I could afford it.

Well, I just checked and they have an refurb 16GB iPhone 4 for $99.

Huh...

It's definitely worth the extra $.
