Slow Printing on HP 4250

I recently had to reformat the computer the printer was attached to.  I used the drivers listed on the HP website to reinstall the printer.  The printer prints very slow, the data light flashes repeatedly for about 2 mins before the the first page is printed.  I am using the exact same USB cable that was used before the reformat, when the printer was working perfectly.  I have tried the PCL 5, PCL 6, and PS driver for this particular model with no success.  

Thanks in advance for your help!

David-Howard, I went through the steps, but XP never "discovered" the printer. However it did print faster.  Thank you!
Hi,
Thanks for your answers.  I've tried changing the spool settings with no improvement.  The delay also occurs on 2 other machines, one of which has never printed to it before and had driver installed from HP site.  I think it's a problem with the plotter itself, so will send it off for repair.
Regards, Peter.
Pls ignore last post.  I meant to post on my question, not this one.
