Slow to load printer dialog box
This is a Ricoh laser printer using an RPCS (Ricoh) driver on an XPpro computer. The spooler in on a separate patition. It used to be that when I click on PRINT, the dialog box would come up pretty quickly. But lately it takes almost a minute to bring the dialog box to the screen. The spool time is normal depending on what I print.
It is a parallel connection. I have 6 drivers installed, 1 local (this one,) 3 network + a pdf + a win fax. What do you think may be the problem with the slow load time?

Is the printer in "sleep mode" when you try to print?
If you try to print a second time right after the first, is it slow or normal?

It doesnt seem to matter if its in sleep mode or not. But seems more often than not when printing a PDF or HTML page.
And if I try to print a second time, there is no delay. I forgot to mention I have one other printer connected, on USB an HP deskjet. And that one comes up right away everytime. Could this be a driver issue? |
