| | Printer slow to print I installed my Brother MFC9700 on this Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1. Since this new HP machine does not have a parallel port I used the USB port. The printer works fine but when I click to print it takes 30 seconds or more to start printing. I don't have spool selected but is there some other item I have missed to start printing direct to the printer. |

| | Re: Printer slow to print I had completely forgotten about that, thanks. Now that I remember I had the same with a couple of other laser printers until I turned that mode off. I had thought maybe that using the USB with this older printer may been part of it, but you are quite right, a laser has to heat up.
