If you can try and install the printer on a different computer and see if the issue persists.. (Oops seen that you tried this already)
If it does, the printer is the focus of any problem... if it doesn't then your print spooler is going to be the root cause.
This is now moot but still worth checking...
My guess is that it's the latter rather than the former. One thing that can often help is to defrag your hard drive as the print spooler requires a large contiguous area of hard drive space to work with.
Try disabling malware scanners, etc... as well (obviously being careful to disconnect from the net first!) and see if that helps..
Lastly there's the old drivers side of things... Check to see if the drivers have updated recently (in which case try rolling them back) or if new ones have become available...
Last thing to suggest is perhaps try resetting the waste counter using the T50-T60 adjprog that's available in various places... That might kick things up a notch but somehow I doubt it.
