I have several workstations running Win7 Pro 64-bit that have been installed as replacements for XP machines.  All of them print to one of several P1505n printers, and are using the latest drivers from HP.  Under XP there were no problems printing to these printers, but the Win7 machines have significant delays when trying to print.  The Windows test page prints instantaneously, but printing from any other application has a delay of up to a full minute before the job begins to print.  Once the job prints, it prints without issue.

 

One thing that I have noticed during my testing seems to point to permissions.  If I am logged in using my admin-level account, everything prints as it should, with no delays at all.  Once I log in with a user-level account, however, the delays begin.  I found the driver files at C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3, but giving "everyone" full control over those files does not help.

 

Is there anything else that I should be looking at?

 

Thanks in advance!

In the end, I was able to resolve the problem by installing the Vista x64 drivers.  No playing with permissions necessary.
