Vista Business - extremely SLOW printing on network printer
Printing from my Vista Business laptop to Canon LBP5000 network printer in
any application takes 130 seconds to start when the Windows firewall is ON.
When I disable the firewall the same job prints instantly.
I have the newest Canon driver and all the Windows updates are current.
When I print the same job to the same network printer on my other laptop
running Win XPSP2, also with the Windows firewall enabled, the job prints
instantly.
This seems like a Vista firewall issue. Does anyone have a solution? Please
advise!
Vista Business - extremely SLOW printing on network printer
The LBP5000 is sold in Europe. I did get the great installation documentation
and Canon tech support has gone through the motions. However ,neither
Microsoft nor Canon are solving the problem. Microsoft says that it's a
poorly written driver Canon says it's Vista's firewall and neither really
seems to care.
There are plenty of other people out there with the same or related
problems. Makes you kind of wonder...
Re: Vista Business - extremely SLOW printing on network printer
I would like to know if there are any updates on this issue. I run Vista
Home Premium and use a Canon LBP5000 via Ethernet through a D-Link router
(TCP/IP). I experience the same issues, slow responsivness of the Canon
printer driver and printer status if the Windows Firewall is set to on.
The Firewall set exception are:
Canon CAPT Port 3756 UDP
Canon CAPT Port 49169 UDP
Canon LBP5000 RPC Server Process (file C:\Windows\System32\CNAC4RPK.EXE)
HOWEVER IF the Windows Firewall is set to OFF the printer works like a breeze.
I believe the issue is caused by the interaction of the Canon SW and Windows
Vista Firewall, but I have no other clues at present.
I checked and I have KB935807 installed, too. Shall I try to take it out? Or
is there any other feedback you can provide?
UPDATE Re: Vista Business - very SLOW printing on network printer
Downloaded the newest Canon LBP 5000 driver today (Jan.27.2008), R1.11 from
http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010308.asp , removed the printer,
removed all Vista firewall printer entries, installed the newest driver and
THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM! Now the printer prints through the Vista firewall
like a breeze.
