Very slow printing via LMT LTE 18 (RBD53G)

Thu Jul 29, 2021 3:52 pm

Hi,

Not sure if it is correct section to ask this.
We have a very simple setup - the LMT LTE 18 (RBD53G) provides internet to a small office. Also the network printer is connected via ethernet to it (Triumph Adler P-3025 MFP).
Users access everything via wifi from their Win10 laptops.
The problem is - printing takes ages - test page needs some 5 minutes, anything more complex can take hours. As print job is sent, the printer responds right away and blinks the "processing" led but that takes really long time. At the users side the print job says "printing" and shows it has sent everything (like 86kb/86kb) until eventually it is done.
If I connect the laptop to the printer via USB cable, it works fine, so it does not seem to be a driver problem. They also have the latest drivers and Windows updates, as of today.
Other network stuff works just fine, as far as I have tested.
I am really not even sure the MT is the culprit, but it all worked fine in a similar setup with a previous router, which was also a MikroTik, do not remember the model but one of the small ones.
Has anyone experienced something like that, or maybe ideas what other steps I could take for further troubleshooting?

Thanks in advance!

We have tested today the same Mikrotik device with HP printer - and it has the same behaviour - meaning - printing takes undetermined amount of time.
