	Only PDF files?? Your printer may have to interpret the file before 
printing it, so it shows activity and maybe a data light blinking as it 
digests the file, converts it, and then finally prints. It may be that it 
needs more memory to get the job done faster also. I see this at work with 
some file types on some of the HP printers we use.
