    Three minute printing delay on ethernet connected printer

    With help, I am now able to print on my ethernet network connected 2300DL
    printer with UAC enabled on my Vista Ultimate OS. However, three minutes pass
    between the time I click print and the printer actually begins to print. Does
    anyone know how to get rid of this delay or what its cause is?

    Knihtisk,

    I am having the same problem (about a three minute delay and then normal
    printing) with the same printer (Minolta QMS 2300DL with a static IP
    address). Strangely however, I could print just fine a few days ago. I have
    seen your other posts regarding UAC and printing. I have always had UAC
    enabled and had no printing issues. I installed Vista SP1 a week ago, and
    printing was working fine after that. The only thing that has changed on
    this machine since my last non-delayed printing was a Zone Alarm definitions
    update but I doubt any causal relationship there.

    I tried to change the printer properties to not use spooling but got the
    error message "Printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be
    completed (error 0x0000070c)."

    I hope this extra information may lead someone here to suggest a solution.

    Wishing us both luck,

    Dave

    E:\>winerror 0x0000070c
    1804 ERROR_INVALID_DATATYPE <--> No NTSTATUS matched


    Open the print properties with elevated admin credential and verify that
    there is a datatype selected in the Print Processor setting
