  • thank you for the response, Lord of Time. It was about, I don't know, 5 or 10 minutes for 2 pages. But for the moment, my problem seems to be solved (see also the comment I gave just a few seconds ago, below)

In the printer dialog you can select under Print -> Order -> Priority. There you can select the priority between low, middle, high and urgent.

    Thank you. I'll try that. In the meantime, I've found another thing that seemed to help, too. (hope the solution will keep to seem working). In fact, it was a series of things, I don't know which one did the trick. It works like this. When in Window 'Printing', I chose 'Properties'. Then to 'apparatus'. (hoping I translate well, my Ubuntu is in Dutch :-). Then I chose Print Quelity: Draft; Color Mode: Monochrome; Resolution: 300x300 dpi. And, (... see next part of answer in next box)

    (..) and then, interestingly, I saw that the Type language Printer was PDF, although I printed 'docx'. So I changed that to PostScript.Then printing got a lot faster. Exactly the same document, a little earlier, took me very long to print- 5 or 10 minutes for 2 pages, I think. After my changes: maybe one minute.

  • Yes, the printing method could also be the cause of the long printing duration. Could you also mark the question as completed?

  • "mark the question as completed?": how do I do that?

  • left of my answer, there is a 'star' button. When this question is displayed in a list (like on the homescreen) you see that a resolution was found.
