Yes.

No. As long as you don't have the printer plugged into a USB1 hub it
should run the same wherever it is plugged in.

If you have set 'Simultaneous printing to local devices' in PrintSpool
switch it off as it can transfer print faster than the print is created.
You could reduce the 'Centisecond pause between tries' to 10 although I'm
not sure it will make much difference. If you use the 'Monitor function'
or logging you can see the various buffer transfers. You can email me if
you need more help with PrintSpool.
