Slow print to hp LaserJet 1200

[jjohn_2]

Print commands to LaserJet 1200 take forever, especially pdf documents. It has always had trouble with large pdfs, but now it's almost stalled completely for all documents -- I must have set some basic setting incorrectly.

Current settings I can determine include:
-- Using PCL-6 driver
-- LPT-1 Port
-- Enabled bi-directional support
-- 72 MB memory

If I turn the computer off and on, it sometimes has the documents in queue and will then print them.

Using Windows 98 OS with Office XP Pro software suite.

Thanks for any solutions.

the queue problem was addressed in another person's question, the support document that helped him was:
