HP Universal Driver 5.2 Unbearably Slow
I'm trying to use the HP Universal Printer driver 5.2 on a Windows XP
computer to an HP M3035 printer. It is unbearably slow. It can take two minutes just for the initial print dialog to respond to any inputs after selecting this driver. Then when I hit OK it can take as much as 30 minutes to print a 10 page document. My guess is that some communication between the printer and driver is timing out over and over. Can anyone guess at what the problem might be? I have the same driver on another Windows XP computer and it works fine. -- W |

The culprit turned out to be javaw.exe located in one of the HP folders. The eventual solution, I think, was to grab the javaw.exe from the i836 (of which you may also find multiples of) but nothing seemed to fix the slowness. Then finally, HP admitted to the javaw program and suggested using the latest one in a java download, or download it from their site. When I looked on their site their javaw.exe was the exact same hash as what I had, so I pulled one from the java folder and it worked! It's been fine ever since. Sorry, wish my info was better, but take a look at javaw.exe in the HP folders and see if you don't have something similar. No idea whether my fix is your fix, but I'll bet the javaw.exe is responsible. HTH, Twayne` |

What folder did you copy the javaw.exe file to? Java installs this into c:\program files\java\jre6\bin. I suppose you could use that as the source. -- W |

Here's where my other copies are located: PowerDesk Text Copy Dir: javaw.exe 145,184 11/12/2010 6:53 PM a C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\ javaw.exe 45,163 5/27/2008 6:12 PM a C:\Program Files\NetObjects\NetObjects Fusion 11.0\NetObjects System\JRE\1.4\bin\ javaw.exe 45,163 5/27/2008 6:12 PM a C:\Program Files\NetObjects\OLDNetObjects Fusion 11.0\NetObjects System\JRE\1.4\bin\ javaw.exe 145,184 4/12/2010 4:29 PM a C:\Program Files\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\ javaw.exe 145,184 11/12/2010 6:53 PM a C:\WINDOWS\system32\ :: :: Java installs this into c:\program files\java\jre6\bin. :: I suppose you could use that as the source. Perhaps; or system32 but you'd have to change the source path it's being looked for that way. IMO better to replace it in same exact position/path the original one was in. Sorry; didn't think it'd get complicated. What happened when you just deleted javaw.exe from the HP folder where it lives? Perhaps the HP forums would be a good place to ask; this is all "IIRC" in my case. -- Regards, Tom` :: :: -- :: W |
