Epson 2200 interfaces printing speeds

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

My Epson 2200 has USB (2.0 under WinXP), FireWire and parallel interfaces.

On my system, I can use any one of the three.

Is there any difference in the printing speed between the interfaces, or is
the time spent sending the file to the printer such a small percentage of
the total printing time that it doesn't make any significant difference?

Thanks.

Probably not much difference in printing speed. However, most users have
less trouble getting USB or FireWire interfaces setup.

USB 1.1, USB 2 and Firewire will all be about the same speed. Parallel will be
slower.

Firewire is more reliable and the throughput, although the quoted
figures would seem to suggest otherwise, is faster.

I had a converstaion with a technician from Epson about the same
matter.
He recommended me NOT to use the fire-wire on the Epson 2200, but the
USB instead as their experience was that fire-wire is not too reliable
on this printer.

Also does the Epson printer status monitor work with Firewire? I know it
does with USB 2.0.

I've had no problems with it. The only thing to remember is to use a
cable not more than 1.8m long. But that's true of USB as well.
