BH458e CAD printing issue

[progoffice]

Are you using PCL or PS driver? We've had better luck with the PS driver in these environments.

Using PCL driver. PS driver makes large data to print. PS driver spool the data very slow.using PCL driver a 34MB dwg CAD file printing is about 2 minutes on other hand Using Ricoh PCL driver it takes 1 minute to print in konica Minolta BH458e machine. Please suggest about to loose the contract.

You've been given every suggestion under the sun..here's another.!! Next time try printing on the KM device before you sell it..The file is probably being sent as PS..You can try the KM PS driver, but Km does not support true PS printing (except for the Fiery), it uses PS emulation. The other vendors you mention both support true PS out of the box. KM won't play ball with Microsoft so they won't bless their PS drivers..If you don't care about stapling or duplexing you might try a generic HP driver just for these CAD jobs, but the other suggestions about converting it to a flat file are better..You can't "fix" this..You screwed up by not doing your homework..posting 100 times for "more suggestions please" is just gonna start making every one skip your thread.

I did suggest he gets a fiery for this client, after all this is what they were designed for!

If he has a few contacts in the trade could get a used one for peanuts.
