So, here's what I did: Checked the int status of the Catalyst, saw it was reporting a-half, a-100 Changed the Ricoh to match that, tested printing [slow but job completed] Changed Ricoh to auto-select, enable 1Gbps, testing printing [fast!] Checked int status again on Catalyst, saw message on the console that the int had changed its state to "down" twice [%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN and %LINK-3-UPDOWN], then changed its state to up on both again Reconnected to console, checked int status to see port reporting a-full, a-1000 now Printing like a freaking champ at the moment Sorry to falsely accuse the Meraki!

Would I need to change the interface settings on the Catalyst at all? Pretty sure the printer started out on Auto... changing it back now to see how it does with Auto Gigabit enabled

Just now getting to circle back to this, but guess what I found on the Catalyst's port for one of the printers: So, I changed the Ricoh itself to half duplex 100 Mbps and tried to print again. While still taking too long for 20 pages, the whole job completed which is way better then when I started! Next move I guess would be to change the Catalyst int settings to auto/auto or at least full duplex?

Hey, thanks for replying! I know the printer was set on auto, then defined at 100 when we were trouble shooting. The switch port on the MX is set to full duplex 1 Gb, but I'll need to dig into the Catalyst's CLI to check those ports.

Apologies if I over looked a similar post, but I couldn't find one. Run an MX250 in a small office/data center. Recently had our new network printers [Ricoh IM C2000s and IM C3000] installed. Updated from older Ricoh models that didn't have this issue [new ones operate on an Android /Linux hybrid OS, I've been told. Old ones were just OpenBSD.] New printers are on same VLAN as clients, but printing is so slow that it either fails or takes hours to print. Spooling is a nightmare. After numerous visits from print vendor, we determined it was our network after hooking my PC and one Ricoh up to a switch and testing with no timeouts or errors. Vendor's guess was some QoS feature squashing the print traffic. I'm not sure where to begin here. Has anyone else encountered this? I can't wait till printing is obsolete.

Any answer to this? Same thing for me- Meraki cloud blocks all yahoo and hotmail servers.
