Questing on printing and Print Servers


Recommended Posts

I want to print documents from my Terminal Server to a remote location via a

VPN and a 1 meg conection.

 

The items I am printing are Excel Files with Pictures inside. The file

itself is 5-10 meg in size. Currently I am printing from the Terminal

Server direclty to the printer (via ip address). When printing, the printed

file size increases 2-3 times in size and as a result prints very slow.

 

If I change the setup and print to a print server at the remote location

(instead of directly to the printer), will the file size still stay smaller

or will it still grow?

 

Which way is better for printing (reliablity and speed)? I know adding a

print-server at the remote location adds another device but maybe it will

work better. Right now printing takes 5-10 minutes for each file and that

is not working out so well.

 

What are your thoughts and recomendations?

 

Thank You
