Since my organization has deployed Server 2008 users have been complaining of
slow printing. We have both Lexmark and HP printers and have tried many
different driver scenarios but that does not seem to be the issue. larger
jobs seem to be what generate the most complaints. It seems like the print
job from an XP client takes alot longer to completely spool up in the queue
thatn it previously did under Server 2003. The data spools up in blocks of
.25MB at a time. Does anyone have a suggestion to improve the spooler
performance ? I read something about Vista clients and new print
architecture in Server 2008 to improve performance. We do not have any Vista
clients. Could this be the issue ? Could our XP performance actually
degrade with the attempt by Server 2008 to improve performance with Vista
clients ?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
