Re: C360 printing speed.
Hi!
I was few times on site so I will post what I did:
1) Using option "Print as image" in PDF made file size flying up to whopping 500mb, but actually that was the way to do, because when it was sent to MFP it was printed instantly.
2) All of you talking about network speed... You were right guys. When I made several tests I could achive whopping 50ms ping between PCs and MFP (all without WiFI - well.. meh..). But when I took laptop and plugged it in insted of MFP (to the same ethernet cable) and made speed test between random PC and this laptop... 2mbit/s in local network. Well.. I didn't expected this, but that's the only reason of slow transfers
3) I tried printing from USB - and ofc I found more problems - Client has C220 and C360. On C220 everything was working nice (besides that 180mb files caused freeze of MFP and I had to restart it - so no luck there - for me it wasn't possible to print them out). But C360 had interesting error. I tried 2 ports (one close to the panel, one at the back [not Firmware port - don't worry ]) and everytime, no matter what file I tried to printout I got "KONICA MINOLTA C360 error page".
Here's photo of that:

I've never seen that one - so I literally had no idea where should I dig in. "undefined" error message didn't help me either. I downloaded configs of both MFPs - I will dig into them and check differences, but machine adjustments files are almost same (no major differences in settings connected with scanning / printing / box).
Had anyone encountered this kind of problem?
-------------
What I did to machine to make it printing faster (maybe some1 will need that kind of info):
1) HDD is not printing buffer
2) Network card's speed set to 100mbit/s (couldn't get 1gbit/s working - MFP would connect to network at all).
3) On PC - tried "Print as image" setting.

Nommo.
EDIT:
I just realized that I may know the answer - I forced MFP to print everything as PostScript. When I will be there I will try that out, or maybe someone has any other answer ?
