Sorry for so many posts in quick succession. I guess I'm not thinking very
clearly today: when using Print-IT (or any other RDS print solution) over a
WAN, does the type of driver even matter? If Print-IT is collecting the data,
squashing into EMF and sending it to the local print server (or client PC if
there is no local print server) then the driver is only relevant to the
communication between the print server and printer, correct? IOW, the print
driver is only relevant in circumstances where is has to be installed on the
RDS server. So it seems I've been wasting bandwidth on this list - sorry!
Thanks,
Sean

Adding to my original post, AFAIK, UFR II is partly host based, where a bunch
of processing happens in the host before it is poured out to the printer. We've
run into trouble with this before - not with Canon's UFR, but with cheaper HP
lasers which didnt have JetDirect. I assume the same reliance on host
processing is what makes cheap inkjets such a PITA on RDS WANs.
I'm planning on using the PCL5e/5c drivers. The tech guy from company that sold
us the device suggested using the UFR drivers (hence my query on this email
list)
Thanks,
Sean

Apologies if this has been asked before: we run a Server 2008 R2 farm with some
head office users on RDS via LAN, plus three offices on a WAN. We use
vWorkspace Print-IT in the WAN offices. We've just taken delivery of a Canon
ir2550i multifunction color scanner/printer. Should I use UFR II drivers, or
PCL5e/5c drivers for optimal WAN performance with Print-IT?
Thanks,
Sean
