Furthermore you have claimed many times that Macs are not general business devices and are only used in the niche graphics/design market so again what's the problem.

The problem has been stated repeatedly. Macs print poorly.

And quite frankly your description of the print process is so wrong it's not funny.

A one sentence 1 color document does not get processed as a 4 color full page doc. That's just a silly statement.


If I remember correctly, you write computer games. I don't know how deeply that requires you to delve into the printing process, but let's see.

The info gets crunched once, either by the host computer using a software rip, onboard hardware rip or by an external rip between the host and printer or by the printers onboard rip.

So do these 3 processes take turns out of politeness? Is there an organized rotation or what? Is it moon phase or some mystical process known only to the Mac enlightened? Please clear this up.

The slow print speeds you may have experienced on desktop publishing Macs is more likely attributed to poor work habits of the user.

I should have guessed this. It's not the computer, it's the user. I'm a little surprised at this too because Macs, as I understand it, don't require complicated set up like pc's & run perfectly out of the box. Maybe it knew I wasn't a Mac person & just made me wait. Whatever the cause was, it was consistent. It's been a while since I messed with a Mac but during the 15 years when I did, every one I ever printed on was annoyingly slow compared to a pc. At least now I know why.
