[Misc] slow @ start prntingi

[big mike]

When I send any document to my 5955's it takes 40 seconds before it feeds paper. When I send it to my 5775 or 7970 it takes 5 seconds. The software is the newest version.

My customers find it annoying. Any ideas?

what are the settings on the slow unit?

are all supplies/parts low in life count?

how are the printing to each unit?

are there any errors listed in the log?

Check they have the correct print driver and not a WSD port and driver.

I am using a pcl6 driver, and I tried the MS Certified driver.
The supplies are almost new.
No errors listed related to printing, it had a couple misfeeds from tray 3.

Is your slower machine set to Heavy media type? =^..^=

I added a tcp/ip port, not using the WSD. The driver is PCL6, and I used the MS certified driver.

On the older machines the 58xx series, I noticed some software versions tend to take longer before it starts to print. I find the "i" series are bloated with apps that slow it down.
