The problem is low workstation performance in Mac OS

 

You may find that the performance of the Macintosh OS with the HP Designjet 10ps is not what you might expect...

...because the Mac OS 9 versions do not support multitasking. The HP Designjet 10ps software takes all the workstation's resources while ripping.

When you use the HP Designjet 10ps software, during the ripping process (both when spooling and when sending data to the printer) you cannot switch to other applications and work normally with them.

With a Macintosh G4 with 500MHz, 256 Mb of RAM and 512 Mb of virtual memory, you will be able to switch and work with other applications but at lower speed. Having more than 256 Mb RAM will help you to achieve better workstation performance.

  • Wait until the HP Designjet software finishes the ripping process.
  • Upgrade to the HP Designjet 20ps workgroup printer.
