Perhaps the disk needs to be defragged? Is there low freespace on C:? Check your processes, is there anything else that has an overly high CPU load?

The Jaz cartridge is new, comes formatted. &nbsp;I've checked processes, nothing overloading the CPU. &nbsp;I'm starting to think the Jaz drive has failed mechanically even though the system reports it functioning. &nbsp;I appreciate your input. &nbsp;Thank you.

Sorry, mcc-cpa, I've replied to the wrong inquiry. &nbsp;Low free space on the hard drive, spool file size, and other such things I've looked into. &nbsp;No probloems there.

Print spooling (apparently) slowed down suddenly on a Windows 2000 system from printing starting within seconds to now taking 15 seconds or longer for printing to start, and it doesn't matter which of three printers on the network I attempt printing to. &nbsp;I've reinstalled the printer driver and software. &nbsp;What can cause problems with the print spooling?

Slow Print Spooling

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
