AutoCAD LT 2023 - Slow printing

[fbprescher]

The printing is very slow... up to 3 sometimes 4 minutes. I'm not sure why it started or how it was started. I reloaded the printer driver. I cleared all the temp files. Turned off the "plot in background". I checked for updates. Any other ideas?

Is plotting to PDF also slow? If not, will be an issue outside of AutoCAD/LT.

You are plotting to what device otherwise?
How are you connected to it?
Your exact LT version as listed in ABOUT command is...?
Your OS is....?

TIA
