Slow printing in TS

Hi,

here is the scenario..

Before:
We had an SBS server 2008 running in our own company network.
Our accountant alsways works from home and connect to our TS server.
His printer automaticly installes and when he print a job this goed stable and fast.

Now:
we installed a new server into a professional datacenter.
We run there Server 2008 Enterprise R2.
All other programs are the same.
Now when our accountant connect trough terminal server his printers are also installed without any problems.
But when he tries to print somehthing it an take up to 5 minutes before the printer start printing... and this is page per page the same...

Even when our network/internet connection in the datacenter is more then 15 times faster then the situation before...

any idea's how to solve this?

What type of printer are we talking about here? Have you tried using the Universal driver as opposed to the printer specific driver?

We've had similar problems before when moving people into our Virtual Desktop environment, and switching to the uni drivers has resolved all our print performance issues...

i did not installed the Universal drivers.

do i need to install this on the server, client or both?

Thanks

It depends how your printing is set up I think?

Is your user connected to a print queue that exists on a print server? Or is it a local queue on his/her laptop/PC?

the printer is local installed on the user laptop. it is a network printer (CM3530 from HP) but local network installed on the laptop.

I would install the universal driver on the TS and on the local client machine itself.

Here's a good article you may want to read:

i have found that this has to do with "Easy Print" from 2k8.

prints from 200k grow to 10mb and then its normal that it takes time to print...

any idea to use another option then "Easy Print"
