TA 420i - slow printing from Unix

sorry for the mistake in the previous post - PPD of the printer doesn't have any other option than Grayscale, can I add this manualy to PPD?

[KOBA]

Okay, sorry for the long reply (busy week)

Multipage (4 pages) files from OpenOffice (*.odt and exported *.pdf - 90% jpeg compression) print straight away without delay.

Files generated from GoogleDocs forms - print with delay - one two sided page *pause* second two sided page *pause* etc.



As for B&W - only Grayscale in PPD and have no clue where it could be changed for testing purposes.

[KOBA]

Bump, anyone have any idea how to solve the problem?

[bsm2]

You could try a KM-5050 PPD v 8.2 see if it faster or has options

[KOBA]

I've just tried this PPD and the speed of the printing is the same - sloooow... so nothing changed

EDIT:
one of the printing files was printed faster, but after one 2sided page there was a blank one

[bsm2]

Only option would be to try an HP laserjet ppd as kyocera's emulate hp

[KOBA]

Thanks for answer, but as for HP driver it won't work (we have additional hardware like finisher/bigger paper casette).

I've found one option somewhere on the internet for kyocera printers - setting an addditional option for printer

lpstat -v
lpadmin -p <printer_name> -o pdftops-max-image-resolution-default=300

Hope this will change the printout time..

Hello again!

Kyocera got new printer drivers for Linux KyoceraLinux-Phase6 (https://cdn.kyostatics.net/dlc/pl/dr...190626.tar.zip)

So I got them up and running on Linux workstations, but there is a strange error when I try to print something - "Filter failed".

Anyone could help with this problem?

I've searched the web for some info about this, but most of errors are for different printers (mostly HP).

Tried to update cups and cups-filters (some users were pointing that this could be the cause)

cups is already the newest version (2.1.3-4ubuntu0.9).
cups-filters is already the newest version (1.8.3-2ubuntu3.5)
