Very slow printing from vista PC to PSC1355 on XP PC

My wife has a Vista laptop which connects wirelessly to my home network.
There is a PSC 1355 connected to my PC which runs XP.
The printer is shared and can be seen from the vista machine but when trying to print from the vista machine it is extremely slow in printing and viewing the printer`s settings. Also if the shared printer is setup as the default printer then the vista machine is very slow opening any MS office document.
I`ve searched all over the place for quite a while to try to resolve this problem to no avail. The printer can`t be setup on the vista machine because of it`s location.
Any ideas?

Very slow printing from Konica connected via Airport Express

Hello folks,
I have a very strange problem with erratic printing to a network printer, connected to an Airport Express via ethernet.
The Network:
- Draytek modem/router hosting DHCP
- Time Capsule connected to Draytek. It's in bridge mode, and runs the WiFi network
- Airport Express 1 in "Join a Network" mode, ethernet clients allowed
- Konica Minolta Magicolor laserjet printer connected via ethernet to AX1
- Airport Express 2 in "Extend a Network" mode elsewhere in the office
All client devices on the network are getting IP addresses in the correct range etc. I have fixed the IP of most devices at the router level, so they don't change.
Client Macs print directly to the printer using IPP (or might be LPD, I can check if relevant) using apparently a correct driver and IP address.
WiFi network is very strong throughout, and the distance between Time Capsule and AX1 is just a few feet.
Here's the problem:
At the start of the day, the printer works just fine. Fast.
Then, inexplicably, you send a document to it and the print queue reports "Spooling....xx%" which increases painfully slowly compared to when it's working normally.
This happens randomly with both small and large files. A modest photo can take over an hour to fully spool and print when it's doing this.
Turning the printer off and on again tends to make it work properly, until the above happens again.
This is driving me mad. Is there a problem with:
(a) The WiFi network or airport hardware
(b) The printer
(c) The drivers
(d) The printing protocol
(e) Me
(f) All of the above
Any insight would be most welcome. The Konica tech reckons it's working, but I think he didn't spend long enough sending print jobs to it for the problem to manifest.
P.S.
One of my main questions is, when the print queue says "spooling", is this the process of progressively sending the file over the network? Or does spooling occur when the data is either already fully arrived at the printer, or hasn't left the Mac yet?
Could the printer's unwillingness to accept data cause the slow spooling? Why might this happen?

It should work. Enable Printer Sharing via System Preferences -> Sharing. The Mac does need to be turned on.
P.S. Try to just post one thread on your question instead of crossposting over several forums.

Slow printing from Mac to HP Business Inkjet 2800dtn

Hi,
We have an iMac running
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Indesign 5.0 CS4
Acrobat Pro 9.0.0
HP Business Inkjet 2800 driver PS v3010.107, with 76Mb Memory
It's taking forever to print documents that are a few Mb in size.
The documents are created with Indesign.
I've tried outputting to pdf and it's still no better.
One pdf is 3.5Mb and just gets stuck at 5%. The printer shows "processing job" until it fails after 30 mins.
I've tried printing the pdf from a Windows XP pc using the HP postscript driver and it's the same. The spool file shows as being 18Mb on the PC.
Printing using Windows PCL driver, the speed is OK but the quality is poor. The only way to get these to print is by using the Windows to print to PS with the print to Image option selected.
I've looked at the Mac spool folder and it looks like 6Mb when it goes to print.
It prints OK to an A4 HP CP3505N colour laser.
I've got a call out with HP but they seem stumped at the moment.
Any advice would be great.
Many thanks

Hi,
if you will follow my correction, that not the printing itself is slow but the time for transferring the data to the printer, so I can serve with a solution.
Look attached file or to the following (english) thread. There is a new modified driver for the 2800, supporting 2 tray, duplex and sizes to A3.
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/119579-g5-very-slow-printing-h p-2800-a.html#post923300.
The german readme is included in the ZIP. The file should work on german and english systems.

New OIF installation - Very slow response from OHS

Hi,
I've installed two instances of OIF 10.1.4.0.1 in order to create a test configuration to test XASP Attribute Sharing (i.e., we are not doing any other profiles).
Both OIF instances are using a separate instance of Sun Directory Server as its User Data Store, and both are using in-memory for Transient Data Store and have no Federation Data Store. Both OIF instances were installed similarly, using the "BASIC" installation choices, and are running on separate Redhat Linux servers.
The problem that we're seeing is very slow (10+ seconds to 30+ seconds) responses, even when we try to access a static HTML test page that we've placed in the OHS htdocs directory.
We've eliminated any networking problems as possibilities by a couple of tests that we've done, including shutting down the OHS and running a small, different test web server listening on port 7777. When we do that, response time for requests from that web server is almost instantaneous.
We are also seeing the same slow response when we try to access the test HTML page from the same server itself.
We have an SR open with Oracle, but so far, we've not been able to identify what the problem might be, so I'm hoping that perhaps someone else may have encountered this problem and have a resolution.
It is really puzzling because, as I said, this is a pretty vanilla default OIF installation, and it is doubly puzzling because even getting a tiny static HTML page is taking 10+ seconds. Also, I had installed OIF 10.1.4.0.1 on a Windows machine previously, and I don't see this problem on that earlier installation.
If anyone here has any insight into this problem, please let me know.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
I think I was able to temporarily eliminate this slow response problem. I think that the slow response problem is related to another problem that I posted about in the "Application Server - General" forum (see below, and Port 7200 conflict?
Jim
======= POSTED to Application Server - General forum ============
I think that I was able to temporarily work around this problem, plus another problem that I think is related (see: New OIF installation - Very slow response from OHS
What I did was to just comment out the "include" line for "dms.conf" in the Apache httpd.conf.
Doing that got rid of the "Address already in use" errors I was seeing in Apache error_log and also eliminated the slow response I was seeing from Apache/OHS (see that other post in "Identity Management" forum), BUT I am getting new errors about Apache not being able to find "htdocs/dms/Spy0".
I have the impression that dms is some kind of process monitoring system that Oracle has in 10gAS infrastructure? So, I have some questions:
1) What's the effect of dms not working?
2) Is it possible to just disable dms?
I hope that Oracle support can come up with a "real" fix for both problems, but in the meantime, as long as what I did doesn't break anything else besides dms, we can at least test the OIF stuff.

HP Deskjet 3520 e-All in one printer trouble with scanning network, connection and very slow print

Dear all
I bought two days ago HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in one printer serie, but i have some really bad issues with the scanner! I have searched on the internet and i couldn’t find anything to solve the problem.
I have installed the printer according to the book of the printer, so everything did go well(i think), except that i can’t connect the scan to my computer, a Mac OS X (i am connected with the printer). I get directed to the website where i can connect the scanner, but every time i try to connect it with wi-fi, i get two notification, one from my computer (from HP Itility (Dutch) program) that the connection is off and second from the website that i have to make sure that i’m connected with internet (which i am) and to check the IP address if it is the same with my computer (which is the same).
Obesely something did go wrong, but i can’t find the problem.
Beside when its copy or prints a document (no matter how many pages) it’s very slow. It takes 10 -15 minutes till the printer starts. Has it something to do with the problem i’ve got with the scanner or is the printer always so slow? Because the very first time, when i installed the printer, it printed very fast.
By the way i also print the test-results to check if there is a problem, but according to test-results there are no problems at all.
I hope that someone recognize this problem and can help me to solve it.
Regards,
Esra

Printing problem-new HP Laserjet P2015 and VERY slow printing-

I have a new HP Laserjet p2015, and while it does print, it is VERY slow—typically about 1 page per minute even for plain black-and-white Word documents. Much time spent with HP support, even got a new new machine… they're out of ideas and think it might be OS related…
Where do I begin to troubleshoot this?
Printer is connected directly to computer via USB.

I have downloaded new drivers, removed and added the printer multiple times, etc. As I mentioned, I've spent a few hours with HP support, tried new USB cable, even got a new machine. They now believe it's something with my system.
Any reason to believe that reinstalling my system software will help?
By the way: Printing from Text Edit is not faster. Or if it is, not very. In any case, it's not a realistic solution

CE 10 - Slow printing from Report Viewer in Win Server 2K3

Post Author: JacobK
CA Forum: General
I'm not very familiar with Crystal reports, we are having slowness issues when printing from the web through report viewer in Win2K3. Recently upgraded from Win 2000 to 2K3. Same crystal version, CE 10. On the 2000 system this report printed fine. Now there is a delay in bringing up the report in viewer and then an extreme delay when printing. This report prints normally when printing directly from Crystal.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

OK so I have updated VS 2010 to SP 1, and installed CR2010. Within my project I have updated the referenced .dlls
CrystalDecision.CrystalReports.Engine
CrystalDecision.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc
CrystalDecision.ReportSource
CrystalDecision.Shared
CrystalDecision.Web
I updated the web.config assembly entries to match the new version # (13.0.2000.0) and the app compiles.
However, now when I try to run a report I receieve the following error...
An error of type <System.Web.HttpException> occurred
Error Details: The 'PageToTreeRatio' property cannot be set declaratively.
I am sure I need to make some code changes but I cannot find this "PageToTreeRatio" attribute anywhere in my .asp code. Is this something you are familiar with? Is this parameter in the report itself?
As I mentioned before the reports were built in CR10 Deveoper (not in Studio) is that the source of this problem? Will I have to rebuild all the reports in VS2010?
Thank you for all the help so far, I am a lot closer than I was yesterday!!

Printing from Vista to printer connected to iMac

Wireless network (2Wire router) setup with Vista PC, NEW GREAT iMac intel pc (OS X 10.4, and Windows XP Pro pc. Epson Stylus CX3200 connected to iMac. Can print from iMac, print from XP laptop via network (after using Bonjour), but can't get very far with Vista laptop. Understand no Bonjour for Vista.
Does anyone know how to resolve this dilemma....I am new to Mac, so be kind. Much thanks in advance.

I just learned that Mac's printer is shown to network as a *PostScript printer* regardless of its type. The guide http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html (for Windows XP) tells how you have to define your printer's name. But you must select a driver for a Apple printer (b/w of color matching yours), don't use the printer's native driver (unless it is a PS printer).
There is no Apple drivers available in my Vista Premium. But fortunately PostScript is well standardized and you can select from any of PS-drivers. i took +HP Color LaserJet 4700 PS+ and now my +Epson Stylus Photo 870+ works fine!

Very slow printing via wireless to HP 6500E710n-z

I have a home network consisting of a Toshiba Satellite A105 laptop running Windows XP SP3 and connecting to the router by wireless communication, My son's desktop gaming computer running Windows 7 and connecting to the router by Ethernet Cable, and my Gateway Computer running Vista and connecting to the router by Ethernet Cable. The printer is connected to my computer by USB and the printer's wireless communications is turned on and connected to the router without any errors. The router is a linksys E3000 and the Toshiba laptop connects to it with an excellent signal strength and can surf the internet with no problems. The worst signal level I have seen on the printer wireless is level 2 out of 5 and is normally better.
When I try to print from the Toshiba wireless to the printer, it will print the first page in less than 20 seconds and then stop. I have waited for 20 minutes and it still did not print another page. The printer display says "printing" and it will print a line every 10 minutes or so, but that is it. Sometimes, it will print 2 pages very fast in the beginning, then not print any more for a long time. I don't know how long it would actually take to finish printing because I get tired of waiting and cancel the print job ( I have waited for as long as 20 minutes though ).
When my son prints from his Windows 7 gaming computer, which is wired to the router, it is the same way. The first page or two will print very fast, then he said he has waited for 10 minutes and it did not print any more.
When I print, the print speed is OK because I am using USB connections. I spent 2.5 hours on the phone this afternoon with HP Technical Support ( in India I think ) and they adjusted the print spooler on the Toshiba, and other stuff, but said the problem was with the router. They also said I should not call Cisco because they will deny that the problem is with the router. I do know that I can shut down both wired computers so the only job the router has is the Toshiba laptop and it does not help at all. The printing is just the same as when all 3 computers are up and running.
HP states that this printer will work at up to 300 feet wireless, and I am 25 feet from the router with the laptop when trying to print and the router is 25 feet from the printer and the laptop is about 35 feet from the printer.
We purchased the HP 6500 two weeks ago and my wife says "take it back to the store". I like the printer and want to get it working, but if this is the best I can do then I guess it will go back to the store.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.

Very slow printing on 10.6 server

Hi,
I've got a Mac Mini Server running up to date SL server. I have two printers hooked up to it, one HP laserjet and one Canon Pixma. Both up to date drivers. The printer server is set up and both printers work perfectly when printing locally from the server. The printers are shared using IPP and are visible through Bonjour as 'printer @ server'
The problem arises when I print from my MB. Printing does work but it's painfully slow, taking up to five minutes to start printing. The job doesn't appear in the print server log until well after i've sent it. I have tried both n wifi and gigabit ethernet connections (small text docs take as long to start).
Has anyone else experienced this? Have you resolved it? If so, how?!
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. I find that clients, Windows, Mac, Linux and OS/2 all exhibit the same problem as you describe when they attempt to print over the network to USB connected printers located on the server while printing from the server itself presents no problems.
The Mac clients provide most information suggesting that the system seems to be searching for something critical to the print process and taking quite some time to find it. When the client finally connects, the print job executes with normal speed. The connection process can take 2-3 minutes on my network.
Attaching the printers to a print server or another client restores printing efficiency. As this essentially provides an ethernet based printing capability, it suggests that the problem relates to operation under USB.
I also learned that OSX Snow Leopard Server does not natively support sharing of USB printers and must be shared through the CUPS process at localhost"631.
Unfortunately, while this allows the printers to be shared across the network, it doesn't provided a solution to the slow printing problem.
I've checked to see that print sharing is active from the Server Admin window and also that queues had been established for the printers. Clients were set up to print directly to the IPP queues and while the print job would eventually print, printing delays still existed.
I also looked at DNS configuration and local host naming but found everything to be in order.
For practical reasons, I have been forced for the moment to service printing requirements by hosting printers on ethernet based print servers or PC/MAC print servers which operates effective but requires in my view an unnecessary additional investment in hardware.
As both of my printers are still quite serviceable, I have no intention of re-investing in ethernet capable printers to work around this problem.
What I think is required is additional coding within Snow Leopard Server to support native USB printing. From what I've seen here in this discussion group, it's current and prolific problem which Apple should be addressing.

Very slow printing hp Laserjet P3005

Ran a printer driver migration program from one xp computer to another and now the printers take 4-5 minutes to print a single page. Any quick fix? Should I uninstall all my HP printers and reinstall them or what can I do? What's the best way to know if all the HP drivers are uninstalled? Will this help?

I have downloaded new drivers, removed and added the printer multiple times, etc. As I mentioned, I've spent a few hours with HP support, tried new USB cable, even got a new machine. They now believe it's something with my system.
Any reason to believe that reinstalling my system software will help?

How to fix extremely slow printing from web pages with latest updates (iMac) & HP Office jet printer. (It was not a problem with earlier versions of Firefox & same computer & printer.)

The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?

Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

Slow printing from windows 2008 R2 with Cisco 6509

Dear All,
I am having a wiered issue in my network. We have a windows 2008 R2 print server. Normal documents print's fine. If you print a image or pdf file, it takes a long time to print. For example a 2 MB PDF image with two page took me 10 minutes to print. The data from the server to the physical printer is really slow. To test it, i have loaded the driver on another windows 2008 R2 and the result is same slowness. We uses Xerox Colorqube 9303 printers.
I have tried most options from microsoft which didnt help. I have installed a windows 2012 server to test if its specific to windows 2008, but the result remains same. Printing from a windows PC is perfectly fine; 32 bit PCs we have.
I have seen someone got a solution to this by disabling ip local-proxy-arp, this is not enabled nor available in my switch.
I have 6509 as core switch with IOS 12.2(33)SXH8. Does anybody come across such a scenario? Is there any special port configuration required for windows 2008 R2 to work normal?

Hello
Printing from a windows PC is perfectly fine; 32 bit PCs we have.
- Printing directly from a computer which has the locally installed driver is printing fine.- it does seem to suggest the server or the network- however locally installed print drivers work fine so the communication to the printer from the client over the network seem to be okay.
However the centrally installed print drivers means the processing job is now with the server which is between the printer and client
Whats the RTT from client and server and client to printer .etc? - perform a extended ping to validate connectivity between all 3
Have you hardcoded the server port to the nic setting of the server - Are the speed/duplex settings manually applied to the servers if so make sure they are also manually set on the switch ports realting to these servers - this is apllicable to the printers too.
Is the same driver used locally is also on the printer server correct?
Whats printing protocol ( RAW) and port being used on the printer server
Do you have print pooling setup on the server -(typo in last post)
Are these printer shared in A/D and deployed by GPO -are the correct permissions set on these shares
Check the printer permission on the spool folder also - users need at least read & execute privileges
Have you manually cleared the print spooler folder and restarted the spooler service on the server?
Are the print jobs being render to the clients or is the server taking the load of processing the print job?
Any printer queue priorites set?
