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,
Smiley
