Shared Printer, prints extremely slow
LockedHi,
This is an issue i’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out but haven’t gotten anywhere. Here’s my dilema, I have an HP P1505 printer set up for shared printing using an XP 32-bit computer as the sharing printer. I’ve added the printer on my Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit, and printing a test page, a text document or a rich text document to it works fine. When I print a Microsoft Word document or from another app, it takes 2-5 minutes from the time the document is sent to the printer until printing begins. I am using the latest 64-bit driver for the printer on the server. The curious thing is that when i initiate 1 print job the printer queue displays 2, and only when i cancel one of them does the print job through quickly rather then me waiting 2-5 mins. I don’t have any issues with other printers that have been added to the windows 2008 server, they print quickly with no delay. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks in advance
