slow printing

[Guest Yannis]

hello

 

I have 10 clients with winxp pro sp2 on location A connecting via

site-to-site vpn to location B on a TS Server.

I have an issue with printing.When one client from location A tries to

initiate a print job from his ts session to a printer located on site A which

is mapped on TS server with a virtual port (\\ip\printer share name), the

print job becomes huge (about 1.6mb a simple test page) and takes ages of

course to be printed.

A simple test page printed locally takes about 40kb.

 

Any ideas why this happens? is there any solution?

 

thank you

Re: slow printing

 

This depends very much on the type of driver used for the printer.

Maybe your printer is host based? Check if there is a PCL or PS

driver for it.

Check this reply by TP, who performed some tests with different

types of drivers:
