Guest Smiley Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 On our 100mb network I have a W2003 Server with a Firewire Printer shared directly. I can copy files to the printserver at 8-9 m/sec but all print spooling happens at 3m/s maximum. If I print to the Imageserver over Gigabit, then the speed goes up to about 8-9m/s but It's still nothing in comparison to the file copy speed of 30-60m/s. Have tried different servers eg: shared on XP etc and different shared printers. 2 Questions. 1 Why? 2 Can we speed this up?

Guest Smiley Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Re: Improve speed print server Hi there, Thank you for your reply. I didn't make my query clearer. I have two disks in this print server and one is used as the spooling disk. I think both drives are of 7200rpm. I was wondering the speed of copying file was 30 - 60m/s then why the spooling 'output' is so low 8 - 9m/s. Is there anyway to improve the spooling throughput ?

Guest Smiley Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Re: Improve speed print server Hi there, The way that I achieve "the whole job before starting to print" is I wait for the spooling to complete and put the printer in pause. In fact, I never print any of my testing. My query - is there a way I would improve the spooling speed, raising from 8 - 9m/s to a higher figure ?

Guest Smiley Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Re: Improve speed print server Hi there, Thank you for the info. As I say, at present, the print speed is not a major problem but the spooling is. What do you mean by "print directly to the printer", would that 'improve' the spooling speed ? With regards to the antivirus, there is no antivirus on it has just been setup and will not be used to do anything else other then just print big printing. BTW, the printer is Epson 9800. Would this has anything to do with it. I doubt it as my understanding the spooling stage never get to the printer.
