Manual laserjet4
« on: September 01, 2006, 07:16:09 AM »
Hooked up a laserjet4 printer to my 4000.
Even found a compatible simm of 8 MB to increase the mem off the printer to 10 MB total.
It is connected to a hypercom4Z+ and driver is turboprint 7.0
Had problems with printerspooler and pagestream so removed printerspooler and prints ok now.
But kind off slow actually.
Before this one I had a epson stylus color 660 which was a lot faster.
So maybe I'll have to set some settings on the printer itself to speed it up.
But can't fins a manual for it..anybody?
And would it do me any good to get a later version off turboprint?
Or a newer IO card like the vario?
Or can anybody recommend a better printer for my miggie?

Well think it is the printer which is actually the problem for most part.
The stylus was much much faster with printing.
I used to make copies with my umax scsi scanner and after the scanning off the page was done it started printing right away.
A full A4 copy took about 20 secs to finish.
Not to bad and nice resolution for text /low res foto.
This laserjet receives the data and waits for about a minute or so before starting to print.
Why?Too low memory in laserjet or are these things actually so slow?
Maybe I'll have to find me another epson stylus printer.
