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.

Microsoft Windows98 TCP/IP Configuration Guide

In order to configure the TCP/IP Stack for Windows98 you need:

• Your Assigned CIDR network number.
• The IP address of your DNS Name Resolvers.

Double-click My Computer | Control Panel | Network icon.

This opens the Network window.

Note: The Dial-Up Adapter may cause problems with the Ethernet TCP/IP adapter. If the Dial-Up Adapter component is installed in the Network Control Panel, highlight the Dial-Up Adapter entry and click on the Remove button. This will remove the Dial-Up Adapter from the system.
If TCP/IP for your Ethernet card is not installed, you may have to add it. (We are assuming that the driver for your Ethernet card is already installed.)
Click on the Add button in the Network window. This will bring up the Select Network Component Type window.

Select Protocol and click on the Add button. This will bring up the Select Network Protocol window.

Select Microsoft in the Manufacturers box.

Select TCP/IP in the Network Protocols box. Click on OK to reboot the server PC.
Once the proper Ethernet adapter and the TCP/IP protocol are installed, you must configure the TCP/IP information:
From the Start menu, select Settings | Control Panel | Network.
Select the TCP/IP protocol in 'The following network components are installed' box.

Click on the Properties button.
In the TCP/IP Properties window select the IP Address tab.

Choose Specify an IP address.
In the IP Address box enter your assigned CIDR network number (a.b.c.x) where x is an UNUSED host IP address. (Keep in mind that the router has already been assigned the .1 host IP address.)
For example: 38.254.100.2
Enter 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask box for an unsubnetted Class C network.
Select the Gateway tab.

Enter the IP address of your router in the New gateway box. (a.b.c.1). Then click on the Add button.
For example: 38.254.100.1
After you add the new gateway, it should appear in the Installed gateways box.

Select the DNS Configuration tab.

Choose Enable DNS.
Enter the host name of the machine in the Host box. (This should be a unique name chosen by you to refer to this machine.)
Enter your InterNIC registered domain name in the Domain box.
Add the IP addresses of the DNS Name Resolvers.
Enter the first resolver IP address in the top DNS Server Search Order box (see below) and click on the Add button.
This will add the IP address of the resolver in the lower DNS Server Search Order box (see below). Add the second resolver IP address in the same manner as the first. Leave the domain suffix search order blank.

Click on the WINS Configuration tab.
Make sure that the Disable WINS Resolution is chosen.

The defaults in the advanced settings will suffice.

Select the Bindings tab.
If TCP/IP is the only protocol, then this box should be empty.

Make sure that you select OK. This will return you to the Network window.

Select OK again. You will be prompted to restart now. Answer Yes.
The TCP/IP stack should be available after the reboot.
