printing delays in TS clients

We experienced delay in printings for about 10 secs in
all our TS clients printers. Is there a configuration in
TS to eliminate these delays?
 
It depends how these RDP Clients are connected. Are they on the local network, i.e. connected at 10/100/1000 speed, or are they connected over a low bandwidth connection

If the connection is at Ethernet speed the printing should be normal, however if the print job is redirected to a local printer on the other end of a slow connection the print job will take as long as it takes for the job to trave across the connection to the local printer

thanks for the quick reply.

the connection is through dial-up and a low bandwidth.
but if that is the case, how come when in another TS
server which we also connect via dial-up, it started to
print immediately the instance I click print? maybe there
are some printing configurations I have to make?

Is this true no matter how simple the job, i.e plain text from notepad?

What client are they using, i.e 5.2.3790

What OS & SP is the Server

yes, even in simple printing jobs. Even printing the test
page for printers have delays.

The OS of the clients are Win XP and they use the Remote
Desktop Connection to connect.

The OS of the server is Win 2K Server and service pack 4.
 
Hi,

I have one small question. This difference in behavior you are experiencing
is when you are connecting from the same client and same printer to two
different servers?

On the "bad" printer, what is the behavior when you print same document (TP)
locally on the client computer? Is there any delay?

If not please see how fast is the job transferred from the server to the
client. To do this, please open printer property for the same printer on the
client and on the server (this will be the redirected one). When you start
printing from the session you will see the job created on the redirected
printer and than it will be transferred to the client computer. When the job
is sent to the client the local printer should start (this is the default
setting). This behavior depends from the setting of the local printer.
Please, check the Advanced setting inside the printer property for this
queue. Is the setting set to "Start printing immediately"?
