Where do I begin...
Setup:
- Ricoh MP C2500
- Gigabit Network (but Ricoh has 10/100 NIC)
- No print server (handled locally at the end-user and printer levels)
- No virtual environment
Problem:
Anytime a large file is sent to the printer (e.g. a 6MB 2010 Word doc with an image from a Win 7 computer) it will immediate spit out the first, text-only page. When it gets to the graphic, it may take several minutes to spool on the end-user's computer. We have not made any changes that we are aware of because this was not always the case.
tl;dr large docs take a long time to spool and print.
Attempted fixes:
I'll save some time and discuss what the Ricoh technician and I have already attempted:
- Crossover cable will print documents a bit more quickly, however when I did a patch cable this evening it still took some time to process.
- Changed...
