10.4.3, 512ram 12"powerbook...
printing pdfs is impossibly slow to an hp1320.
word docs print fine, the pdfs take sometimes 5-10 minutes!
even a 2 or 3 page pdf...
any ideas??

That's strange. I have never had a problem with slow PDF printing, but at least one other Mac user I know has mentioned that PDFs print slowly for him. I think he may have had an HP inkjet, although I am not entirely sure about that.

Do you mean pdfs created from the same Word documents, or other PDFs? If it is other PDFs are they image heavy at all or just plain/styled text. Could it just be that the PDFs are much larger and have higher resolution images in them? Or is it all PDFs?

all pdfs. usually just text, actually small files.

I have an HP OfficeJet G85 and no, I haven't seen that. However, it would likely depend on what HP you have. Things you could try:
1. Make sure you have the latest HP drivers for your printer. Visit the hp support pages and download and install the latest version.
2. Delete your current printer using Printer Setup and add it back to see if that solves the problem.
3. Try creating a gimp-print/gutenprint printer in Printer Setup for your inkjet and see if that performs better for pdfs.
4. Try Printer Setup Repair (search macupdate.com or versiontracker.com for it) to see if it helps.

it's only when printing pdf's from adobe reader (reinstalled, no difference).
so switched to preview, and all is well...
odd...
