How long does it take before the Laserjet's status LED starts blinking? If it starts blinking nearly immediately take a look at network speed, and then the amount of RAM in the printer. I assume it's coming out grayscale - have you changed the jpeg to grayscale before printing? That will cut the size of the print job down considerably. If it takes a long time for th eLED to blink, look at your CUPS setup on the FC box. How long does it take to print a test page from the CUPS interface? Chris
