Troubleshooting Slow Printer Screen Loading for Work Orders (Long and Short Forms)

Question:

Hello everyone, I am encountering an issue with MP2 and would appreciate any assistance. I am in the process of upgrading all the computers in my office, and I have noticed that the new computers are taking over 5 minutes to load the printer screen for Work Orders, whether they are long or short forms. Interestingly, the problem does not occur with one of the old computers that I have kept. If anyone has any insights on this issue, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Have there been any changes to the directory where MP2 stores its reports? Typically, these reports are saved in a local folder.

Hey there! It sounds like it could potentially be a driver issue with the new computers. Are you using the same printer drivers on the new ones as you have on the old one? Sometimes, newer computers require the most recent drivers and updates to function optimally. Another issue could be related to network settings or even the version of the MP2 being used. Try checking these factors and see if it helps.

Have you checked if the printer drivers on the new computers are up-to-date? Sometimes expired or incompatible drivers could lead to such problems. The older computer might be working perfectly because the drivers are compatible with the printer. If updating the printer drivers doesn't help, try troubleshooting network issues as the problem could be due to a slow network connection.

Hey there, it sounds like it could be a compatibility issue between MP2 and the new systems. It could also be that the printer drivers on the new computers need updating. Have you checked the system requirements for MP2 on the new hardware? Also, ensure that your printer drivers on the new systems are up-to-date. Some old drivers don't work well with new systems. A mismatch can result in slow processing times. I also recommend looking into your network configuration, it might contribute to the delay if not configured correctly.

Hey there! That sounds frustrating! It could be related to the new computers' network settings or drivers not being fully optimized for your printer. Have you checked if the printer drivers are updated on the new machines? Sometimes, legacy systems have specific configurations that work better. Also, consider examining the network connection for any latency issues. Switching to a wired connection or ensuring that the printer is on the same network segment as the new computers could help. Good luck!

Hey there! It sounds like a frustrating situation with the new computers. Have you checked if the old computer has different settings or drivers compared to the new ones? Sometimes, compatibility issues with printer drivers or network settings can lead to delays. Also, consider looking at the network connection or firewall settings on the new machines, as they can sometimes affect performance as well. Good luck, and I hope you find a solution soon!
