If we return to an x86 Windows Install to support the 8100 specific drivers, we lose the ability to support 圆4 systems. Doing a stack of prints for our Engineering team literally takes hours where before it took a half hour. The performance is so poor with the universal print drivers, it makes multi-print jobs take many times longer than they did before. they must both be Universal Printer drivers).
#Toshiba universal printer 2 driver slow drivers
Apparently you're only able to add 32-bit drivers if they are named exactly the same thing (i.e. Unfortunately, the 32-bit specific drivers cannot be added to the 圆4 printer share because of the difference in print name. They do offer an 8100 specific driver for 32-bit systems in addition to the Universal driver. HP doesn't offer a printer specific W2K3 64-bit driver for our LaserJet 8100, only the universal driver is available (as of 2/25/09). Any printer using that driver was extremely slow spooling. We eventually narrowed it down to the HP Universal Print Driver.
However, the behavior only seemed to manifest on certain printers.
In particular, we noticed that our HP LaserJet 8100 was taking approximately 10-20 seconds to spool a job compared to its previous behavior of spooling almost faster than you could click.Īt first we suspected it might have something to do with the 圆4 version of Windows managing the x86 client print requests. Shortly after switching, we noticed that certain printers were taking far, far longer to spool their jobs. For the most part, we found that it wasn't too hard to get both a 圆4 and a x86 driver for the printers we were using. We recently migrated to a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise 圆4 Server (SP2) as a print server.
