We have a HP LJ4000TN printer connected using 10HD to a
switch. The printer is configured using TCP/IP-port to a
printserver running 2003 Server which is connected to the
same switch using 100FD. The printserver is sharing the
printer using latest PCL6 driver from HP. We've disabled
SNMP, Bidirectional communication and advanced features
for the printer and set all trays to A4 format.
The clients use either W2K Pro or XP Pro - they are all
connected to the switch using 100FD and are updated with
the latest SP's and patches from Microsoft.
Problem:
The print performance on the XP clients are half the one
on the W2K clients - 8ppm vs 16ppm. Also the time from
print start to first page finish differs a lot - 24s vs
15s. According to printer specs from HP correct values
should be 16ppm and around 12-13s.
We've set the LPT_Timeout under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/WOW
from 15s default to 3s without and change.
What other configuration changes can be made on in the XP
environment to enhance printer performance?
