PDF Documents Print slow - HP Laserjet

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

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.
