HP LaserJet 2100 TN printing speed

Asked by SufenHu

I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. And I have a HP LaserJet 2100 TN printer which is plugged in a static IP address. After I install the printer, the printing speed is very slow. After I send a printing job, it will take several minutes that the printer starts to print. I am not sure how I can make the printer responding fast. The following is the output once I run "hp-check -t " under root. Thanks a lot.

Once I run hp-check -t as user, the output is the same as running as root. Any suggestion?

The version of HPLIP that is installed is very old.

If possible please upgrade to the latest version of HPLIP and try again.

Thanks!
