I have a HP LaserJet 4050.
It has 72mb of ram in it.
When I print it can take up to a minute or more before it starts to
print. And some pages that I need to print wont print because they are
too large (???).

Im not entirely sure what I should be looking for here.

My wife prints from her ThinkPad with XP and it prints just fine - well,
still a bit slow overall.
