I had a customer report the same problem. He said it was resolved by removing Rollup 1 for MF XP SP 4. _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Walter, Chris Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 11:16 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Slow printing Check to make sure your drivers on the Metaframe servers are the same as what you have on the print server. I've also had better luck on some printers turning off the BiDirectional support in the print queue. Try using the Hostname instead of the fully qualified name if you are using HP Standard printer ports. I was told it is very buggy if using the FQN.

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.

When it's stopped look in the spool directory for any potentially bad files and clear them out. _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Berny Stapleton Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 8:57 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Slow printing 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?
