Hi Doug,
With PS3, if you are in the poisition of having mostly network prnters, and
you're not geared up for PS4 or prepared to buy a third-party printing
solution, then option 1. would be the most efficient, purely and simply because
the print jobs would traverse the WAN as print metafiles.
With Thinprint's gateway you'd have compressed metafiles which would mean less
bandwidth and faster delivery of your print jobs. PS4 also uses compression of
metafiles.
Option 2 means you'd be sending formatted "raw" print jobs across your WAN.
It's the easiest configuration to control and administer.
If you can do it, a very good copromise (from a driver management viewpoint, is
to have a print server at the IT Centre that sends the jobs to print servers in
the remote offices (as metafiles). This combines the best of both options and
makes it really easy to drop in a third party product to optimise priniting.
regards,
Rick

Sorry to resend this AGAIN. I had some mail problems and don't know what go to
the group.
If you replied to this can you please resend it. Thanks
We have PSV3/w2k3 servers and a combination of thin clients and PC's (mostly tc
in this case).
We are trying to identify which configuration would be better.
1 - put print servers in the office where the printers are (HP/lexmarks)
2 - put print servers in IT center "close" to Citrix Terminal Servers
The offices are all over the place and vary in network bandwidths.
We are using PCL 5,6 and PS for printing. (and some UPD)
So what do all you recommend.
Thanks
