Default Question about this crappy printer

So I'm trying to print a PDF file off a website. The printer will print a bit, pause for 2-3 minutes, print some more, pause, print, pause...


wtf? correct drivers installed too.

We have this problem with some printers at work too. It will print some .pdfs but not others. Try saving the pdf to your computer then print.

also... if it's just text, you can export the pdf as a txt file and just print that, it'll print in no time.

it depends on the type of the pdf.... if it was something scanned to pdf... then it has no choice but to print as an image.
