Need Help - Toshiba e-Studio 3500C & x64

[infiniteMPG]

We have a networked printer here at work that is a Toshiba e-Studio
3500C. It is a great office system for printing, copying, faxing and
scanning.... at least when we're on XP x32. We are in process of
upgrading to XP Pro x64 and the workstations we have are having
"issues" with the 3500C. According to our I.T. folks the driver is
the one that we're supposed to be using. According to what we can see
here in engineering, it's :

Toshiba - e-STUDIO3510c Series Printer Driver
Version 4.9.56.4
Localize Version 021.000

Problem we have is when we spool a job to the printer, even an instant
print from something like MS Word, it takes 20-30 seconds for the job
to spool. This ties up whatever application we're printing from for
that amount of time. A royal pain since we can print to other
printers, or print from x32 workstations to this printer, and it takes
less then a second to spool.

Our question is, any way around this or anyone know where a better
driver might be found????

Have you scoured the Toshiba website for an x64 driver for it? It
probably won't work, but I think the e-Studio machines are essentially
rebadged Konica bizhubs (they look suspiciously similar at any rate)
could you trick it into using one of those?
Are you using a PCL or Postscript driver, or a proprietary Toshiba
language? Can you try one of the other options?

Not sure I can even try. It's a network printer and basically
controlled by the I.T. folks. They didn't know what was going on so
they called trhe support people in and they supposedly put a new x64
driver on but it didn't change a thing. If we use the instant print
button from Word to any printer besides the e-Studio it spools the
print instantly. If we spool even a 1 page doc to the e-Studio it
hangs Word for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

From what I can get to we're running :

TOSHIBA
e-STUDIO3510c Series Printer Driver
Verison 4.9.56.4
Localize Version 021.000

We also just found that if we print multi-page PDF files from Acrobat
Reader, the first page prints properly but the next page prints :

ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: AWSYTT+Univers-CondensedBold
OPERAND STACK:
false

And then the third page prints :

PS error : undefined

And that's all it prints.

Excellent! Nice one Marco.... this worked straight away.

Do you know if this error is known to Toshiba? We'd like to upgrade
our readers to v9.2 but as we use Toshiba MFD's I'm not sure that
would be a good idea...
