This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]

basically the problem is the speed to print (or better start the printing) the windows machines print quickly and the machine with linux not what can be done to print faster?

sending any document to the printer takes longer than 30 to 40 seconds per printed document

Hi,
Are you seeing this observation for any particular document or any file? Ideally we should not compare the print speed of linux vs windows as both are different OS flavors. If you see this issue with particular files please do share it and we will verify and update.

Hello

the problem happens with banking site (where the finance department uses
linux) and with pdf files and libreoffice documents (the interval time
of one document and another is very large) sometimes it takes more than
1 minute and then sending the documents

after sending several documents when we go in the printer did not start
printing the first document

Thanks for this additional info. We will try to recreate this scenario in lab and update.

Can you help with this problem?
