You are probably pulling your hair out wondering WHY ON EARTH ARE THESE PDF’S PRINTING SO SLOW!!!
If you own the old and trusty HP Laserjet 4000 series then I have a solution for you that you wouldn’t believe…USE THE WRONG DRIVER!
Here are the steps for setting up a network printer (let’s assume you have a computer dedicated for this or a server:
1. Setup a new printer and add as usual (either network or locally depends on your situation)
2. When you arrive at the “Select Printer Driver” Select the HP Lasterjet 4 driver
This is an older driver, but it forces the printer to use PCL5e and your PDF’s will work much faster.
