Hi All,

my spanking new unmanaged, 5-port switch, model TL-SG105, is giving me joy on all ports except the one linking my printer. It's an HP LaserJet P4015dn, and whenever it's connected to the switch, prints take ages (i.e. 3 full minutes) to get through.
It doesn't do this if the printer is directly connected to the Ethernet controller of my laptop (MacBook Pro 4,1, OSX 10.6.8), and I know the printer is fine otherwise.
[*]My cables are Cat5e UTP and tested with dedicated gear, so rule this out too.
[*]Also, the printer's JetDirect I/O preference is set to 1000TX Full Duplex, as is every bit of gear on the network.

Any idea what I could do to improve this rather awkward "Gigabit" network speed?

What is LED status of the TL-SG105 when the printer connect to switch? Is it green? If so, it means the speed has been negotiated to 1000M full-duplex. If not, it may caused by the failure of the auto negotiation.

Hardware version: how do I know this? It has a sticker on the back with mention "Ver. 2.0" Lights: all green. Just to check, I tried to configure the printer's ethernet controller to 100M (one hundred), and the light did go yellow on the switch, so this speed selection thing does work. EDIT: wait I forgot I discovered that the slowdown only occurs when my internet router is connected to the switch. Is there a common setting I can fiddle with on the router config page?

Your issue is really odd! Why not contact directly with the supporter for help?
