Slowed down printer
In the past 1997, my printer could print at a reasonably fast speed.
but now it prints 1 line in every 2-3 seconds.!
I tried to re-install (w/o uninstalling the pre-installed one) the printer disks. Think it did hasten up a little. But later now, it returned to it snail's speed.

TRY CHANGE YOUR PRINTER PORT SETINGS TO ECP OR EPP ALSO TRY SPOOL SETINGS AND YOUR INK CARTRIGE MAY BE DRY SO GET NEW ONE
JBurghardt, Please do not just JUMP to answer a question... The answer is USELESS!
What kind of printer do you have? Is it color, or B&W?
What applications are you printing from?
How fast will it print a text file sent to it from dos?

It's color. Epson. Most time printing from Word. Some times alos from html.
Send from dos? Me send from Word 95. Never tried dos.
It still takes a long time to print a few lines. Like Print a line and rest 1 - 2 sec.
Past, it prints very fast. No resting at all. Continuous printing.

What model is the model number of your Epson?
What is the resolution set to on the printer?
I have a CANON BJC-610, and if I set the print driver up to print at Photo Quality & 720x720 dpi, it will print 1 page in 7 minutes.
However, if I set the printer up at 360x360 dpi & High Quality Text, it will print 2-4 Pages / Min. And the print output actually looks better than it does at photo quality.
Could this be your problem?

My God 3 MG???
I was just talking to one of my clients in the presence of one of my techs, telling him that he needs minimum of 100Mg at all time on the boot drive, and my tech JUMPED to correct me, in saying NO 200Mg minimum.
So here you go, I hope you don't crash your system, because 3Mg is really on the RED, RED, RED line.
All the best
