Printing too slow through TS and IPSec vpn

[Guest Yannis]

Hello!

 

I have to sites A and B lets say.Both connected via IPSEC vpn with 2 adsl

routers.

The connection speed is 2mbit download kai 256kbit upload.

 

On site A there's a server running win2k3 standart with TS enabled for 10

users.

 

On site B there are 10 clients with winxp connecting through the vpn and

remote desktop on the server on site A.

 

I have mapped printers located on site B to the server on site A using local

port mapping and UNC path (\\ip\printersharename)

 

Everything ok till now... The problem is that when i initiate a print

job..lets say a word file 25kb size to a printer on site B it takes ages to

complete.When i open print job manager i see that the size of print job is

about 1-2MBs.Why is that?! Word document is only 25kb...

 

Is there any way to speed up print process??

 

Thank you for any answers..

Try:

For HP LaserJets disable advanced printing options

 

Printing Preferences -> Paper Quality -> Advanced -> Document Options ->

Advanced Printing Features (Disable).

 

Lower you DPI from 1200 -> 600 or so.

Hello

 

Thanks for you reply! I tried to uncheck advanced printing features since

the printers are HP deskjet D4200 series but unfortunately i didn't see any

change...

Any other ideas? Is there amy software that could compress the print job

before sending it and then decompressed on the client side?
