Hi,

I have installed a printer via network and IP address. It was an HP printer with "HP Universal Printing PCL 6" but it take 2-3 minutes to showing up and to be usable.

The driver was already installed and what is the best way to check the bottleneck, that it doesn't show up and only usable after that time?

Hopefully, that issues has been already tracked :-)

    Hi, Please find right model driver from https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers and install network option. Ensure the IP address, subnet and gateway is manually entered in printer settings as per the router DHCP configuration or register the mac in DHCP server before installing the printer.
