I had a customer report the same problem. He said it was resolved by removing 
Rollup 1 for MF XP SP 4.

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.

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? 

Berny
