[comp.sys.mac.misc] Mac IIfx printing slower that a Mac Plus, SE or plain II

loganj@yvax.byu.edu (01/09/91)

We have three Mac IIfx systems that take about 4 minutes to print a
simple page of text to a LaserWriter II NTX over AppleTalk, and an
additional minute to print the same page using EtherTalk.  Printing
from the IIfx on a LaserWriter Plus is faster, but still not nearly
as fast as printing on the same printer from a Mac Plus, SE, or plain
II.

The same page prints almost immediately from the other Macs (Plus, SE,
or II) to the LaserWriter II NTX.

This appears to be a problem with the IIfx, not the networks.  We've
tried different machines at the same network location.  The system
software is all 6.0.7.  We've tried printing from MS Word, Edit, and
others.  When printing via EtherTalk it passes a FastPath 3.0.

Anyone else have this problem?
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim Logan
