Printing takes very long when printing out of Auto CAD Ineo+ 308

[Gino_21665]

Please help :

Develop Ineo+ 308, Windows 10 64bit, 32Gb Memory, 9800GTX Display Card, AutoCAD 2016

I have a problem when printing out of CAD, the light on printer flashes all the time as soon as you press print showing that the job is being transmitted to the device, it takes close to a minute or minute and a half to get to the printing of the Drawing.

I've switched between PCL, PS & Universal drivers and problem persists.

Printing out of Adobe, Word, Excel etc is all fine.

Does anyone know of a setting that needs to be enabled to speed up this process ?

At another client i have a similar issue, when printing out of the clients system it takes very long until the actual job prints, with PS driver it prints faster but limited setting options.

When accessing the driver through Devices and Printers, Printer Preferences \ Properties it takes long to go into the settings ...

Can anyone please shed some light on this for me please...

Thanks

Kindest Regards
Gino

Just as a test what haooens when they save the cad file as a PDF and print the PDF?
I have seen CAD take 5 min to print its naitive format but as a PDF it was zippity quick.

If word excell and adobe print fast then it seems the application is the slowdown. Not much you can do.
When its receiving the job does the blue lights flash for a long time before the white bar lights up? If so its feeding the job to the copier slowly.
If the copier has a hdd you can turn on spool to hdd and may print faster. Good luck.

I would call your service tech out, ask him to update to the latest firmware version, if this doesnt solve it the yes it is simply your application & something you'll have to live with!

Or sell them Fiery to save some seconds.

Might be a router/switch issue.
You might want to check the adapter speed on the machine.
When you print open the print que--how fast/slow is the data transferring and how big are the files?
If you do call a tech out tell him to check for specific fixes with "special firmware"

But he also said that pdf was still not as fast as they wanted.

I am not familiar with CAD, but does it build 'layers' as some other apps? If so, that may be delaying the print process. Have them bring up a fresh design, and see how that prints?
