Hello,

 

You may use hdtune to stress HDD (for the spool):

If drivers will be used in Citrix/TSE, you can use a free tool from Citrix:

Hi Mathieu.

 

Thanks for these!

 

These are some good resources... I will look through them.

 

MS have an inhouse tool called printstress whichseems to be not available to

public, yet the advocate it in their guides?

 

Do you know anything about this?

 

Cheers,

Andrew
