Say, something generated with PDFCreator or an older Acrobat? I've seen slow printing of PDFs too. but I haven't yet dug into this. The other thing, which I also don't know much about, are issues with the print system in the printer. These have hard disks and some form of OS inside, so I wonder if there is some kind of problem there, like a fragmented disk or something. Lastly, have you turned it off to hard reboot it? I did that once on my 8150 and I think it had an effect. In my case the 8150 didn't ever act slow until it was about 7 years old, so I am unsure of PDF changes or internal weirdness. This is an excellent question. I'm all ears on this. --STeve Andre' Political Science
