Re: Slow printer?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The layout of the options differs a lot so I can't tell you exactly where to
look but in your printer settings see what the various "Resolution" options
are. Some suggest abilities to print astronomical resolutions and sure they
can accept those from the PC and convert down, but anything above 300 DPI is
generally indistinguishable. If there is a draft mode see if that is set,
maybe it was before but the new default is quality.

If the Dell is set to send data at very high res maybe the printer is doing
a lot more calculating.

I hasten to add that I am just guessing here,
