HP LaserJet and Color LaserJet Printers - Files Print Slowly or Hang in Print Queue While Processing

Berikut adalah antara tips yang pernah dicuba (highlight) bagi mengatasi masalah slow printing:

"There are many other factors that can affect how quickly a print job is printed or cause it to hang in the print queue. The factors listed below can all have a direct affect on how quickly jobs print.
  • The specific printer being used.
  • Amount of installed memory in the printer. Note that PDF and other Adobe files can have larger file sizes that require more printer memory that basic files such as text documents.
  • Printer driver being used, including version and type (PS, PCL, etc.). Note that generally, Adobe files will print faster if a PS driver is used instead of a PCL 5 or PCL 6 driver (if available). Not all printers have a PS driver available as an installable driver.
  • Number of print jobs in the print que.
  • Operating system on the PC the print job was sent from.
  • Available resources on the PC or server the print job was sent from such as amount of installed memory.
  • Host based printers spool print jobs on the PC and not the printer, this can have an effect on print speed.
  • Connection type between the printer and PC or server, (USB, Parallel, Network, etc.)
  • Complexity of the print job (file size, number of images, etc.)
  • The printer has an installed hard disk (if available)"

Windows driver types

Three Windows printer drivers are available: PCL 5e, PCL 6 and HP postscript level 3 emulation. Choose a printer driver based on the way you use the printer.

  • Use the PCL 5e printer driver for faster printer performance and a quick first page out with 600 dpi print quality.
  • Use the PCL 6 printer driver for enhances print quality. The PCL 6 driver allows you to take advantage of HP's proprietary ProRes 1200 and FastRes 1200 technologies. Printer performance and first page out may be slower with this driver.
  • Use the HP postscript level 3 emulation printer driver for HP postscript level 3 emulation. Certain printer features are not available in this printer driver.
