Hello everyone,
Newbie poster hoping someone can help me out with a Di181 problem. I have this machine connected via parallel cable to a work station. It is shared out on the network. The problem is that when a print job get's sent to it it takes a very long time for it to finally start printing and it stops after each page to think about it some more?????? I have tried a couple of drivers I found online but to no avail. It seems like it could be a driver issue but after reading some of the postings here I am starting to think it is just a POS printer. Someone had mentioned in the worst printer ever thread about how you could make these things better if you knew the tricks, can someone point me in the direction to where I might find the tips and tricks for tweaking this PIA printer. By the way I tried 2 different off the shelf print servers to see if putting it on the network instead of sharing it out would work better and that idea went down in flames. Thanks for any advice and great site never knew it existed and being an IT Support guy I am expected to know everything of course, nice to know there is a place I can come and hopefully get some direction on these things.
