HP LaserJet M1530 MFP Printer - Very slow to start printing on Windows 10 Pro x64

[greavette]

Hello,

We had successfully used the HP LaserJet M1530 MFP printer installed on a Windows 10 Pro 32 bit workstation where printing was fast to start and we had no issues.

We've since built a new Windows 10 Pro x64 workstation and installed the necessary drivers for this HP LaserJet M1530 MFP printer.  But we have noticed that printing takes 30-60 seconds before print jobs begin to print.  I see no errors in the print job.  We've not set anything (as far as I'm aware) to delay the print from starting.  It's very strange...I look in the print queue and after 30-60 seconds the job starts sending data to the printer and the printer starts printing.  

Can anyone suggest what could be different between these two setups that would delay the start of printing on the new Windows 10 x64 workstation we've setup.  

Thank you.

Got to hp.com and download Universal Print Driver PCL6 and try how the printer works with a UPD.

Thanks very much Valsimot for your help!  This was the driver that fixed our issue.  Printing has once again resumed to be as fast as it was previously on the old computer!  

Second question for you now.  when I installed the driver for the HP LaserJet M1530 MFP Printer I had installed a printer and scanner setup.  Now that I've installed this generic Universal Print Driver for our LJ M1530 MFP printer I need to point the scanner to this printer instead. Is there a universal scanner driver/software I should use from HP to have my scanner point to this universal driver/scanner I setup?

Thank you.
