Adding Printer Slowness

It used to only take 15 - 20seconds, it then progressed to 1min, 2min and now can be 3minutes before connecting and adding the printer or it may not add the printer. This is what it looks like.

I found that sometimes you can go back to Bluetooth & Devices, then to Printers & Scanners, add another printer and eventually they will both show as installed.

 

On VPN

Adding printers to my computer after a restart and no UP Printers installed to see how that works.

There is still a popup for each UP Printer when Epic is launched.

Removed printers, restarted computer

    It sounds like your printer setup process is experiencing significant delays, which can be caused by various factors such as driver issues, network problems, or Windows services slowing down over time.
