    Slow Printer Speed

    I am running Vista Home Premium edition on an Everex stepnote 2053

    I am connected wirelessly to a router and I have an XP machine connected via
    ethernet it has an HP1100 printer attached to it via parallel cable.

    I used to be able to print easily to it.



    Then a few month my everex stopped recognizing the printer. I just made do
    for a couple of months and then tried adding the printer.

    This time it worked but whenever I tried to do anything relating to printer
    (setting printer, page preview or printing) it would take 5 minutes or more
    for it to respond.

    There were no error messages and like I said it would eventually do it.

    What is Everex?

    Your bottleneck is probably the LPT port.

    LaserJet, DesignJet, PhotoSmart... which 1100 printer?
