Q: Ricoh Postscript printer very slow on graphics

We had a network with 25+ users running 10.9.5. Also connected are two Ricoh mutlifunction printers (MP C3002 and MP C305) both staffed with postscript modules. The printers are labeled Gestetner which is a trademark or something like that.

 

Now one of our workstations (Macbook Pro 15) has become very slow on printing colorful pages. A three sided PDF with pictures will have 30 minutes where the third side will abort with a error message sometimes.

A parallel connected Macbook using the same printer drivers (but running 10.10.3) prints the same PDF on the same printer within 2 minutes.

 

We have tested all available drivers (Ricoh, Gestetner). We have done a reset of the printig system, PRAM and SMC too. Nothing changes. We deleted all PPDs and printer related files before.

 

If we use the installed apple generic postscript driver the machine runs like a devil. But then we cannot use additional features like second paper tray ie.

 

Any ideas where to start?
