I installed a HP jetdirect 610n internal printer server into a HP Laserjet 4000 printer. I assigned a static IP address the print server. If I print a configuration page directly from the printer, the page prints very quickly. If I send a job to the printer via IP printing, the printer receives the job very quickly put processes it very slowly. The paper seems to crawl through the printer and exits very slowly. The printer only had 4 mb of memory, so I added 32mbs. The additional memorydid not resolve the slow speed.

If you were to hook up a local workstation or laptop to the printer using it's LPT connection, does it print fast or slow?

If the printer is having a problem receiving data through one of it's input devices (IE a Jetdirect card), try the other sources as well. See if the problem can be reduced down to a particular operation or component.

If the self-printing and local printing operations work nice and fast, then you know the problem is either with the jetdirect card itself or the port the card interfaces with inside the printer.

The slow printing also occurred when printer was locally attached to computer. I changed the print driver from 4000 PCL6 to 4000 PCL and that seemed to resolve the problem.
