HP LJ 4100 printer driver issues

[peter lipp]

Folks,

I have an application (using delphi and crystal reports) that does crash
heavily on windows 2000 server when printing to a hp-lj pcl driver, and
doesn't (at least not as rapidly) when printing on the same printer using an
older PS-driver. Is this something that is known and a work around for? I am
happy to use the PS driver but I still don't feel too convinced that this is
"safe" (only time will tell)

You found the workaround
Using the PS driver when the PCL driver doesn't work (and vice versa) is
perfectly fine if you can get away with it. You may want to check HP.com
for a driver update, or complain to them about your issue (which may
eventually result in an update).
