Slow speed of EPSON STYLUS T1100

[ramanrockstoday]

After printing 4 pages of full color slides from powerpoint ,the stylus t1100 slows down like a snail,and takes around 10 mins to print one a4 size page !!,what could be
wrong with it? while printing black it spits around 40 pages and then slows down like mentioned above !?
any feedback tip would be gleefully accepted.

It might be your computer that is slow or has limited memory in its buffer. Have you tried it on a faster computer? I'm just guessing.

yeah,tried it on a new amd athlon 2.8 ghz machine with 2 gb ram,still the same problem !

Maybe the printer has a limited buffer. Why don't you try this experiment? Just give the printer two sheets of paper when you're printing ten slides and wait for a long time after it has finished the first to pages before putting in more sheets to see if it then slows down after printing just two more pages or after printing four more pages.

Print Head high temperature protection in driver kicking in?

But they are operated in Air conditioned room,and time is key ingredient ,we are famous in our area for delivering speedy prints ,and after spending bucks on t1100 the intent was to leverage on its speedy claims,but after 6 months of faithful service now its bugging us with paper jams and terribly slow speeds,guess i shall have to trash it and replace it with epson workforce 4011 or b 310,any suggestions are most welcome.

Internal components can heat up despite ambient room cool temperatures.

Speed kills (printheads).
