HP Laserjet 2100

[drew einhorn]

Picked up a jet direct card and a lot of problems with the printer
went away.

Now I'm left with just one.  Sometimes it prints at a reasonable
speed nearly as fast as it can move the paper.  Sometimes it's
painfully slow, a minute or so per page.

Will adding a memory upgrade help?  If the printer doesn't have
enough memory for a page will it just fail, or will it just take a lot
longer?  Mine has the base 4MB, there are three slots that take
16MB modules for a max of 52MB.  Can get a module with a
postscript interpreter instead of one of the 16MB modules.

May just need to get another printer with a faster processor.

But assuming I hang on to this one, would it be better to have:

    postscript and 36MB ram, or
    no postscript and 52MB ram.
