IBM 4019 Prints Very Slowly Under Windows NT

 Last reviewed: November 14, 1997
Article ID: Q148439
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5 and 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Printing to an IBM 4019 printer in native mode using the IBM 4019 printer driver takes a very long time, compared to the same printer in HP emulation mode using the HP Laserjet driver or when using the IBM 4019 printer driver under Windows 95.

WORKAROUND

Set the printer to HP emulation mode and use the HP Laserjet printer driver.

MORE INFORMATION

In native mode, the IBM 4019 printer uses a PPDSL standard. In that mode, Microsoft's printer driver does not support downloading True Type fonts, so they are printed as graphics.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and Server versions 3.51 and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
