i have just tried this on my home pc, but it just deletes everything on the spooler, even if i say no when prompted? so all printers were gone

i have tried different drivers(8000,5000,2200,...), always the same, right side or both sides are being cut off tomorrow i will try to print to a pdf writer the only driver where it isn't cut off is the 4250 PCL 6

i have tried some other printer drivers with some programs, but now the right side of the A4 is being cut off... can you pls tell me how to fix this, or is it even possible to fix?

you should look in disk management

i tried the windows onboard hp laserjet 5000 PCL and this looks like it is working a lot better, thx alot for the comments everyone! i'll try a lesser onboard driver tomorrow and keep this thread updated cluberti just a question for you as smod, this forum is it outgoing from a company, or is it just private?

So if i install the drivers for the hp 5000 the slow selecting in the print dialog should be instantly, or would something like 3300 be better? or would this just be a little bit better(like a second or so faster) because the selecting now(about 8 seconds) is way too long and people are really getting tired off the waiting

thx for the reply, unfortunately turning off the advanced properties didn't work i have now looked into the application and system logs, in the applicaton logs no log line was added but in the system log some lines were added print: Printer Driver HP LaserJet 4250 PCL 5e for Windows NT x86 Version-3 was added or updated. Files:(lot's off DLL's and some EXE's) but the time from the log line is a couple of minutes later than the actual "choosing printer" time, if this matters? so i can assume it is reinstalling the printer driver? How can i disable this then? i'm now going to try an universal driver EDIT: other drivers didn't work

how can i disable these advanced features? here are some pictures: this is the tab where i would set the template(these are example pictures that ressemble the real ones): but as soon as i do this, the printer selecting in the printer dialog is very slow, also if i right click the printer and select properties, it takes about 8 seconds

thx for your reply the printer is a HP 4250tn, the drivers that i have tried are: 4250 PCL 5e and 4250 PCL6

hello, in windows server 2003 i have set up a print server. all xp clients in the network print via the printers included on this print server. i have only 1 problem, locally this is VERY slow... first of all i add a new local tcp/ip printer on the server and set all the needed values. next i add a network printer on each client computer. Here comes the problem, if i just add the network printer, everything is almost fine, but on the server i have made a printing preferences template for each printer which i want to use. so when the network printer is added, it inherits the settings from the printserver. and if i choose the printer in the print dialog of a document, it is selected relatively fast(1,5seconds). But as soon as i set the inherited template in the printing preferences of the printer on the client computer, it takes about 8 seconds to select the printer from the list in the print dialog?? can anyone tell me what this could be? i have checked printer sharing options in the exceptions from the firewall allthough the firewall is disabled. the ip's are static so i have checked netbios if have searched whole google, but i can't seem to find a working solution anyone please can help me??
