I have noticed that when printing using the HP LaserJet 4 driver on the
Server side that if the client has a PCL6 driver, the printing is EXTREMELY
slow, on the order of one page per minutes or sometimes slower than that.
Printing is more normal with the PCL5e driver. This ONLY seems to occur
though when the client has Windows XP. With other OS's I have not seen
this. It took MONTHS to find the solution. 98% of the time though if I
have the user swap out to a PCL5e driver the slow printing issue goes away.

Just as a second opinion, we use mostly PCL 6 drivers and the Citrix UPD
and have had no issues with BSODs. I cannot vouch for the increase in
traffic because we don't have much in the way of bandwidth restrictions.
Personally, I think that the PCL 6 drivers are much better written now than
in the past, specifically with HP printers.

PCL5e tends to be more stable and manageable than PCL6, and it should also
produce less network traffic than any other driver.
I once saw an extremely good study of printer drivers (It's amazing what
people will do to justify enough work for a contract extension), and PCL 5
won on both bandwidth and stability, but not by much.
