WE have an HP 8150N network printer that is giving one user grief. The firmware on the NIC are up to date and the drivers are up to date (using post script). When ever this user tried to print any PDF document under Adobe 6 standard or 8 reader (Both of which have the latest updates) the printer will spit them out 1 page at a time every 5 seconds instead of in one fluid print job. I had her send the email with the PDFs to another user with the same configuration as her PC and she was able to print it without issue. Users are all Win XP OS(SP2), 1GB RAM and 2GB or better CPU. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for your time.

Check the user's settings for "Print as Image"

Thanks, but it was actually the dpi resolution setting. I changed it from 600x600 to 300x300 and it runs like a champ now.

I also have a problem with Adobe reader (9) running super slow. Not only to print, but even print configuration. And then sometimes it tries to print to .prn than to an active printer. Other applications using the same printer driver are fine. It is low both on it's own (ie, when you select and execute a pdf document in a folder) or when you open a pdf document with Firefox or IE. Any suggestions?
