Very Slow printing my network printer

I have problem when i try printing any computers my home network to konica
minolta 1300w laser printer.

I have home network vere is d-link 16 port 1000Mbit switch and all computers
is connected that switch.
That switch have connected outside D-link 2740b adls modem.
All computers ( 6 computers) have vista inside.

Printer have connected Buffalo live station usb printer port and live
station is connected home network.

I have latest konica minolta drivers all computers.

When i printing anything, first that window where choose how many copy you
want and what printer use, when that pop up take some 3-5 min and then when
i press printing that get too something 5 min, and sometimes nothing hapend.

What i can do or is"t i must buy new printer?

It sounds like the BUD file for the device has not been generated so the
spooler will read the gpd /ppd file line by line for device capabilities.

look in \windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3 for a BUD file . If it's
0 bytes, that not correct.

to generate the BUD file, right click the printer, Run as administrator,
Properties change a setting, Apply. Change the setting back OK.

I have finally found a solution to extremely slow network printer problems which had me baffled for weeks. My network printers (Brother MFC-8890DW) had suddenly become excruciatingly slow to the point of almost unresponsive. It took a few minutes to 30 minutes to print any single page, if at all. I was also having the same problem at my office with some of the network printers (Brother MFC-8660DN and Brother MFC-8460N). Other network printers such as Xerox Phaser 8560 and Canon MP990 were not affected.

I had read everything on the internet and tried all of them without success. Finally, I took my laptop and the printer to a neighbor and plugged in both to his network to see if the network would make any difference. Sure enough, IT DID! It was working just fine spitting out pages promptly at high speed. I noticed that he was using an older D-Link router while I was running a D-Link DIR-655. I came home and started going through router settings to turn off all optional settings one at a time while checking to see if the printer would respond by sending a test page after each change in the router settings.

When I finally got to Advanced DNS Service (Optional, under internet settings) and turned it OFF, my network printer suddenly started working perfectly!!!

I then started turning on other router settings which I turned off earlier, again testing the printer after each change. In my case, Advanced DNS Service was the only service I needed to turn off. All other optional features such as QoS Engine, SPI (stateful packet inspection, in the firewall settings), Anti-Spoof checking, and UPnP did not block the printer even when they were all turned ON.

If you have exhausted all other options, you might want to take a deeper look into your router settings.
