I am at wits end on how to deal with this problem. We have Win2k machines printing pdf's or other images through samba to the lprng spooler and then off to the directjet on HP8100N series printers.
Currently some of these jobs take 30min/page to print tying up the print queue. I have tried both PJL and Postscript drivers from windows and that doesn't seem to make a difference. I have screwed around with the network buffering (which did make the jobs spool faster but not print faster.), I don't think it is samba or lpd because they both seem to be spooling quickly. Is there some sort of filter I can configure to either streamline (preprocess) the printjobs (ps or pcl) so they print faster or kick them out of the queue (as a last resort)? People are leaving because jobs are not printed fast enough. Any help would be appreciated. I can give more details if needed/wanted.
