Print job prints

The maximum speed of the printer is 8 pages per minute,

extremely slow

which cannot be exceeded. This speed is measured using

 

“Letter” sized paper. “Letter” is a U.S. standard paper size,

 

which is smaller than European A4. Your print job may be

 

very complex. Try the following:

 

● Reduce the complexity of your document (reduce the

 

number of multiple graphics, and etc.).

 

● Change setting in the printer properties to “Faster

 

Printing.” See “Printer properties (driver).”

 

● Add printer memory. See “Installing DIMMs

 

(memory).”

The parallel cable may be loose or defective. Try the

incorrect, or

following:

incomplete text

● Disconnect the parallel cable and reconnect it.

 

● Try printing a print job that you know works.

 

● If possible, attach the cable and printer to another

 

computer and try printing a print job that you know

 

works.

 

● Try using a new IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable.

 

See “Accessories and ordering information.”

 

The wrong printer driver may have been selected while

 

installing the software. Verify the HP LaserJet 1100 is

 

selected in the printer properties.

 

The software application may be malfunctioning. Try

 

printing from another software application.
