Printer slow with white space

Hello!

I have my Canon MX300 printer working with CUPS; lately, however, the printer is printing white space very slowly, e.g. it prints a half page of empty space line by line as if there were something there.  Does anyone know what may be the cause of this?  This did not happen originally and I noticed only after I had installed libreoffice (not sure if this is related) to do school work.  It prints this way from any software.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Printer slow with white space

Hello everyone,

I have successfully gotten my Canon MX300 Printer to work with CUPS.  The printer works great, but for some reason it prints out white lines incredibly slow. The printer acts as if it is printing out actual text, e.g. if I have half a page of empty space, it prints it line by line for some reason... Anyone know what may cause this? I know that CUPS is not ideal with all printers, but it did not do this at first actually.
