Improving performance of network printer

Hi every1

Does anybody know how to improve performance of network printer connected to Windows 2000 Server, 'cause a printer (xerox n32) arrived from another location which was connected to another serwer and now when I have connected this printer to my windows 2000 server some users say that this printer works slower then before . Any ideas ? Please let me know.

Regards

Possibly caused by resources on the new server.
Is the spool directory on a different drive than Windows and the pagefile?  If not, move spool directory to a separate drive (Control Panel, Printers, File>Server Properties, Advanced Tab).
Check for memory and pagefile usage.  Upgrade memory if memory/pagefile usage is high.

charliebiscotti - is there any other possibility to improve performance of network printer connected to windows 2000 server ( configuration of driver etc) , because  there is a lot of free space on drive 'c:" ?

Thank you in advance

In what way is it working slower? Taking longer to send? to process? or does the printer sit idle for a while after the print job starts spooling?
Actually hdhondt document is immediatly visible in printer tasks to print on a print server but it takes much time to proceed on a network printer. I have no idea why it took less time when this printer was connected in another location. Perhaps local network is slower here but I have no idea what else could affect printer to print slower here in my location
