Improve speed print server

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?

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 ?

 

Regards,

Re: Improve speed print server

 

Hello,

 

does it go faster if you set the printer spooler to wait for getting the

whole job before starting to print ?

 

Any Antivirus ? exclude the spooler directory

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 ?

Re: Improve speed print server

 

You would better go on the printer properties

go to the advanced tab

check "Start printing after last page is spooled"

 

You may also try the "print directly to the printer"

 

 

what about the antivirus stuff?

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.

 

Regards,

Re: Improve speed print server

 

Hi there,

 

There is a setting on the printer properties which I would set to print

directly to the printer. However this means the program would take longer to

finish. Hence this is not an option. My objecctive is to finish printing in

the shortest time so that the pc is not being hold up. We send the printing

from photoshop. Any idea which I would improve the spooling ?

 

Many thanks,
