Why is there a delay when printing a network printer from one computer?

Question

Windows

The Ricoh SP202SN network printer is connected to a DLINK hub, which, in turn, is connected to a router. Several identical computers, on one Windows 7 was reinstalled from scratch and after that it began to experience a printing delay of 30-40 seconds. Sometimes the job is sent immediately, but the printer wakes up after the specified time. Sometimes, after Ctrl+P, the print window appears after the specified time and the printer goes to warm up immediately after sending. Often the second job is printed instantly.
The settings are exactly the same on all computers (more precisely, they do not even change when installing the driver). I tried to turn off the two-way data exchange on the problem computer - it did not help. I tried to uncheck the SNMP checkbox in the port properties - it did not help. Changed the network card - did not help. The network on the computer is stable, without lags and breaks.

Answer 1

Typically, printing problems are associated with crooked drivers.
On a problem computer
1. Remove all unused printers and their drivers.
2.Completely remove the old drivers of your printer
3.download new drivers from the manufacturer's website and install.
PS: it often happens that new firewood works worse than old ones.

Answer 2

Specify - does this happen in all applications? I had a case when printing pdf documents was very stupid. The solution turned out to be simple - I changed Sumatra to Foxit and everything returned to normal.

Answer 3

look at the system and application event log for printing events. maybe your print manager crashes every time you print, or something else that can be reflected there.

Answer 4

Rearranged Win7 from scratch again, the problem persisted.
Tracked - when printing via Ctrl-P, the task does not immediately appear in the print manager, there is a delay of several seconds. If, after sending and during the delay, press Ctrl-P again in Opera, the print job immediately falls into the dispatcher.
The problem does not occur if sent via Ctrl-Shift-P (that is, via the system print dialog).
I don't want to leave Opera.
