Well, that makes it sound like a bad printer. It's probably quite good
at its intended purpose...an affordable HOME printer. Give it to your
employee of the month to take home and print pictures of the
kids/dog/hamster.

So it appears the best solution is to drop kick the printer off the
nearest tall building and hope it doesn't hit anyone on the way down?

Hi Jason,
If you check the spec sheet for this printer on the HP web site, you
will see a heading "printer languages, standard". This printer is
host-based. That means that most of the work rendering the print job is
done by the computer's CPU and not by the printer. This allows the
printer to be inexpensive but ruins its compatibility with Citrix.
So, while I don't know of a list of bad printers, I recommend avoiding
anything that says host-based or host-mode in the spec sheet.

Do you happen to have or know of list of printers that are known to be
very slow on the mapping? I have a couple of other users that are
experiencing the same issue. I don't have their printer models on hand
at the moment. If I have to tell him his printer drivers are the issue
and the only fix is to use a different printer it would be nice to know
what alternatives that will give similar capabilities are available. Or
at least what he should avoid.

Crappy drivers for crappy printers. HPs low end is as bad as lexmark
