slow printing

[Yannis]

hello

I have 10 clients with winxp pro sp2 on location A connecting via
site-to-site vpn to location B on a TS Server.
I have an issue with printing.When one client from location A tries to
initiate a print job from his ts session to a printer located on site A which
is mapped on TS server with a virtual port (\\ip\printer share name), the
print job becomes huge (about 1.6mb a simple test page) and takes ages of
course to be printed.
A simple test page printed locally takes about 40kb.

Any ideas why this happens? is there any solution?

thank you

Re: slow printing

This depends very much on the type of driver used for the printer.
Maybe your printer is host based? Check if there is a PCL or PS
driver for it.
Check this reply by TP, who performed some tests with different
types of drivers:
