Optimize print quality for slow computers
The HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer is capable of printing large images at high resolution. The associated files for such images are necessarily very large. The printer relies on your pc’s ability to efficiently transfer these large files as the image is being printed. If you have a computer that is too slow, in CPU speed or RAM capacity for example, the print quality will not be optimum. There are several things you can do to improve the print quality when printing from a slow computer:
1.Close all open applications except the one you are printing from. Make sure there are no processes running in the background.
2.Change your color management option to "Managed by Application." See Color management for more information.
3.Do not use/disable color management.
4.If you are printing a landscape image, rotate it into portrait orientation and select portrait orientation in the driver before printing.
5.Increase your system's RAM capacity.
6.Increase your system's processor speed, or upgrade to a faster processor.
