VERY Slow Printing Or Net Using
Sep 26, 2005
I have a DOS based accounting system that I have used for years and I print to various printers on my network using the "NET USE" command. It has worked just fine until recently when it started taking 10 to 20 minutes to execute a "NET USE LPT1: /DELETE" command or to have a printout send to the printer.It seems that the print job is hanging up in my computer (DEL Inspirion 8200 WinXP) because the DOS application hangs up until it finally prints. I have just testing printing from a Windows application and it does the same thing. The printer that I am trying to print to is attached to a Win2000/Red Hat Linux dual-boot server and does the same thing no matter how the server is booted up.

I have a LaserJet 1160 printer that is connected by USB (computer has no parallel port). Using Windows XP and have automatic updates turned on. This is a business computer, connected to a network.Early last week I came into find my computer had been restarted after a Windows automatic update. Didn't think to much about it. I went to print and my printer had disappeared from the system. I reinstalled (or tried) the printer and it took 3 or 4 tries. I kept getting errors (0x800703F2) about the DOT4USB driver not being able to be installed. Finally I was able to get the printer installed. It installed by the "Add new printer" option in the printer control panel after the 3rd or 4th time.
So, I have my printer now. Unfortunately it is extremely slow now when printing through Windows. It's like the printer is not getting the information very fast from the computer. This printer has always printed very fast. The status light would blink maybe twice before printing started on a full document. Now it blinks for 20+ seconds to just print a 4 word sentence from Microsoft Word. The only time it prints fast is when I print from inside a VPN connection (we connect to another company to run one program and from inside there is prints very fast).I've tried HP tech support but the printer prints fine when I hook it up to my laptop. I've replaced the USB cable, switched it to several USB ports on the computer, tried to update all of the drivers (that DOT4USB shows as a hardware update in Windows Updater every time but the installation fails). I'm at my wits end with this! I find myself directing 1+ page documents to a network printer outside of my office because the printer is just so slow.
When I go to device manager, under "Universal Serial Bus controller" the first one named "hp LaserJet 1160 series (DOT4USB)" has a yellow exclamation point over it. When I go to properties it says the drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28). Of course, when I try to install the drivers from this area I get a message that it "cannot install this Hardware. An error occurred during the installation of the device. The configuration registry key is invalid." I've googled that for days and can't find any help with it.

My system is slow, Malwarebytes came back with error 714 (0,9), so uninstalled using add/remove programs - but even that continually showed error code thru process. Have now reinstalled Malwarebytes and running scan - nothing detected on scan yet. Tried to print on Dell 924 Photo printer (which has worked fine for 5 years) and came back printing error. Tried to add/remove MS SQL 2005 program, wouldn't allow me to uninstall. this program had error messages at startup, wasn't even sure what it was or how it got on the system, so decided to uninstal after inquiring on techguy software forum. but it wouldn't let me uninstal it. I think the program was probably related to high school technology class with the boys.

I have a dell desktop p4 2.4ghz w/ 1 gig Ram. For the past month or so, I have been having printer freeze-ups. I have a HP1012 hooked driectly via USB, and 3 other networked printers (2 HP and a Brother laserfax printer). The weird parts - it will freeze randomly, and will freeze when printing to any of the printers!! I may go a week between freezes, or a day.
When it freezes, I can not bring up the "PRINTER and FAXES" in windows, and when I click on the printer icon in my time tray, nothing happens. I then must usually cntrl-alt-del to end whatever program was printing, then restart. When I try to restart, I always get an "Explorer can not close" message and must "end now", before it will turn off, and then it will take forever in the "Windows is shutting down" screen before it reboots.

i'm using xp home edition sp2 and an epson photo R800. The problem is, when I print a document or photo, I sometimes have to wait upto a couple of hours for it to print. I have changed the print priority to 99 but still the same. I have re-installed the drivers and checked all the settings and i can't see anything thats different as it used to print immediatly. I have tried changing to print immediatly after first page/after last page and everything else i can think of. I also have another PC on my w/less network sharing this printer but this has the same delay.

I have run the troubleshooters but to no avail.

How can I print a page that is longer than the screen?For example, a page that has to be scrolled down to see its entire contents.I am referring,specifically ,to the left side or the right side of the Windows Explorer ''directory'' or ''folders'' or ''files'' pages, which are much longer than one screen. Is there any way, using only Windows XP, that I can print those long scrolling LISTS of folders, or program files, or data files that are two or three screens in length?

Two identical Dell PCs each with XP Home SP1, and a different USB printer on each.Both printers behave the same.On booting the PC and printing a document, the first page may or may not print, but then the printer goes to Offline mode.

I have XP set up with user accounts for each family member with myself as administrator and everyone else as limited accounts.Is there a way that I can disable printing from some of the user accounts? My 3yo daughter has a habit of printing stuff by accident 10 or so times.

My HP 7310 hesitates when I request a print job. The paper loads but then I wait about 30 to 40 seconds before it prints. It will not do multiple pages without the hesitation either. I've removed the HP software and reloaded several times and even HP has not come up with an solution. They said XP Serv Pac 3 was the problem and I removed it but the printer still acts the same.

We have recently installed a PC of software that need an agent "pushed" out to each users PC. We also had turn on the file and print share option for all PC's. But since doing so, people are now getting a yellow dialogue bubble pop up in their sys tray EVERY time they print. I have been told that this may be a policy in GPO, can anyone give me any ideas where I could start looking?

I've been unable to find the (assumed) setting that no longer enables me to print any online page without the right margins being cut off...sometimes up to 1.5 inches of the page. So frustrated that I started using Firefox 3 months ago but the freezing after a day of use or using Acrobat drove me away from that browser.

Does anyone know what the problem could be with my printers not printing out envelopes? They will print out a letter but not envelopes though they act like they are printing but nothing prints when they come out in the tray? And, yes I have ink! LOL! Just curious as to what could be the problem.

I have a problem when printing JPEG's. The JPEG's file size increases dramatically when sent to a printer( eg from 630KB to 13MB).Could Windows be changing the file to a BMP before printing? If so, how canI stop this?

I'm in the middle of a basic networking lab and one of my VM's crashed. As our host, we use Windows XP. For virtualization we use VMware Workstation. I had a problem installing the Internet Printing Client for my lab. I got an error saying that there wasn't enough hard drive space. I then shut down my VM and added another hard drive. Upon startup I was greeted with: STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} i did this:Removing the virtual HDD I added before the problems started. Restarting the VM. Restarting the host machine. Trying the VM on another machine. Booting to .iso and using the repair console with the command chkdsk C: /r.

I have a dell 2400 series PC running XP home edition. My Dell A920 printer stopped working. When I uninstalled and tried to reinstall it, I couldn't get it to reinstall properly. I used the original CD and I also downloaded a driver from dell.com. Neither worked. I tried to install a new Samsung ML-2010 printer. I used the included CD. It finished the install and when I tried to print the test page, it wouldn't print. It appears in the print queue as "printing" but never prints. When I reboot, I see a message on the system tray saying new hardware detected, there was trouble on the install and new device may not work correctly. I tried to do a repair from the enclosed Samsung CD but it didn't fix the problem. When it tried to print the test page, it said "not responding" in the blue bar across the top of the page

Lately my computer has been extremely slow, not just internet slow but onboard slow. For example, if I click on an application from the desktop it will sit there for 10-20 seconds before anything happens. Occasionally I'll click multiple times on something and nothing will happen then 30 seconds later it will open multiple instances of things. This delay has been happening with just about anything I click on, acting like the computer's busy doing something else when nothing else should be going on. I've looked in the task manager and the applications column will be blank

We run a terminal server at my my workplace which runs Windows Server 2003 rc2.We use Remote Desktop The list of OS's is as follows Winxp pro, Winxp home Windows 2000, and some Windows Nt(Yeah i know its depressing). The problem im having is in most cases i can not print from a local machine while in remote desktop unless the printer is on an LPT prtiner port.I have the printer shared on every Local machine, Rdp is setup coreectly also but still no printy. The only thing i have not tried is installing the driver on the TS and then trying to install and bring over the printer while in RDP.
