Printing

[Ken]

I installed Window 2008 to use Remote Application for many of remote sites
around AP region, it works quite well by the way.

I hit a wall when I thought about printing performance over the WAN because
the finance dept in my company do a lot of printing at the end of the month.
I have tried searching for an answer to find how much bandwidth TS printing
actually takes up but so far no luck.

Would anybody know or able to give me a lead where I can find out more
information about TS printing or the optimal way to configure TS printing.

Thanks.
Ken

Re: Printing

You can tweak the bandwidth allocation, but giving more to virtual
channnels (printing and other redirections) will cause slow screen
updates:

Are you using TSEasy Print? Here's some good background
information:
