This article was previously published under Q148439 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.
