Just as another bit of information, printing not through the citrix
mapped printers is instantaneous, the issue arises when using a mapped
printer through the Citrix client.
 
The job just sits there saying Spooling, even on a print job that's 100
KB (two page output from Excel) and that's over the local LAN with gig
to all the servers and 100 meg to the workstations. Copying files from
the workstations to the print server, and from the citrix servers to the
print server is fast as well.

The Citrix servers get automatically rebooted at night time anyway, I
will check on the print server itself and on the citrix servers as well.

Stop and restart the spool service.  When it's stopped look in the spool
directory for any potentially bad files and clear them out.

Anyone know where to start looking when the spooling of printing slows
to a crawl? 

Print jobs that normally take 2 seconds to come out are taking 23
seconds to come out. Physically, nothing has changed, we installed a
printer yesterday, but that change has been backed out. Network wise, it
looks fine, the print server isn't doing much, servers are having it
relatively easy... Just printing in particular has slowed down. The rest
of the environment isn't exactly behaving like it's semi snappy self
either...

Any suggestions?
