Had something very similar... with a mixed client environment (read
loads of MACs). Set it not to delete romaing cache. (not ideal). Also
set the delprof 1 day not 0. This then went away. You might want to
investigate the printer drivers at both ends of the chain.

Ok, something else I just discovered.  The printer on the local side is
set
to "spool so printing finishes faster" and "start printing immediately".
On
the server their printer is at "spool after last page is spooled". I can
change it to "start printing immediately" but it has no effect on how
fast
the printing occurs, AND next time they log in it is right back to
"print
after last page" again.  I have also noticed that it seems to be sending
one
page, and waiting on a response before sending the second.. Not sure if
that
helps any or not.

Ok, in the past few days, printing has gone completely strange on me.  I
have more and more users starting to complain of extremely slow
printing,
and now the users are receiving Print notifications that print jobs are
paused, on servers they aren't connected too.
The only thing I can figure out is, that for some reason these
notifications
are showing up from 'orphaned' printers on other servers.  OR that they
are
trying to print to an orphaned printer on another server left from a
previous session.  Is that possible?  Has anyone had experience with
this?
Right now I am at a loss as to what is causing this.   Right now
however,
the print notifications seem to be coming ONLY from servers whose
drivers I
replicated over with the PrintMig utility from MS.  I am trying to
figure
this out before it becomes a larger problem.

We are currently running a farm of about 8 Metaframe servers all at NT4
TSE
and MF1.8 SP2.  No 3rd party printing systems.
