HP psc 750 is printing very slowly ( 1 page in 2 minutes) and has intermittent lock-ups. The OS is Windows 98 SE with current drivers using USB interface with RAW spooling. HP Support lists a similar problem with Mac OS 9.x but nothing about Windows. Resources list at 80-90% free.

If you have the option of printing straight to the printer without spooling, that should be the best bet.

Slow printing can be caused by what you are printing. For example, scanned PDF's and Scanned pictures in general print slower then normal text. You might consider upgrading the printer and getting some more RAM. Also, you might want to check out

Which looks as if it has a patch that fixes print lockups. I would completely remove the printer and re-add it and then apply the patch. Enjoy.
