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..
 
Re: Printing too slow through TS and IPSec vpn

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.

Re: Printing too slow through TS and IPSec vpn

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?
