The first thing I would look at is to see if there is a duplex mismatch between the NIC and the switch the server is connected to.

Why yes , I do mean that. &nbsp;It's also not a mismatch to between the nic and the switch the server is connected to.

There are about 35 networked printers of various types attached to an IBM 346 print server, running windows server 2003 . &nbsp;All was going well, but printing is suddenly becoming very slow, to the point users are complaining. &nbsp;There are no obvious errors in event viewer, nothing has changed other than the spooler being move to another location.

Anyone have any suggestions?

All network printers slow, no errors

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
