Subject: [THIN] HP Printing slowness


I have come across an odd problem with using the HP LaserJet 4 drivers.
When they print they get one page every 2 to as many as 5 minutes.  The
pages themselves print at a good speed, but it takes forever to spool them.
Some of the reports printed are huge, up to 100 pages.
This appears to happen almost randomly, but once it starts seems to stay
that way.  I have users with various Laser printers (mostly HP) that are
aliased to the LaserJet 4 driver.  When these users have upgraded to Windows
XP or 2K their printing gets VERY slow.  I have checked the Buffer size in
the Module.ini file and it is setup correctly.  But what I have noticed is
this.  On their end, the print spooler is set to "Spool print jobs so
printing finishes faster, and Print Immediately."  However on the server
side, their printer is set to "Print after last page is spooled". This has
ONLY occurred with printers using the basic HP LaserJet 4 driver alias.
Most of the customers with this issue are on Dsl/t1 links so I know
Bandwidth isn't a problem, because it will happen to one person, but the
person next to them, printing to the same printer will not have the issue. I
am frustrated at this point I don't know what else to check.

We have an NT4TSE with MF1.8sp2 farm.  Has anyone had this experience?
