I'm having an issue with VERY SLOW performance from a new and supposedly fast HP (DesignJet 5500) plotter. Print time from Autocad is 10-15 minutes from submit to print, for a < 2Mb file!
Details: Client PC is W2K pro, newer 1.6GHz Dell, big RAM, HDD, etc. Autocad is current version. Server is W2K and Dell 4400 (again, lots of ram and plenty of CPU). LAN is 100Mbit incl. Jetdiret card in plotter. Windows test prints to plotter are fast. Watching the queue on the server it sits in spooling mode for the 10-15mins. Speed test script copies .5Mb file in under 50ms. 2 different clients have this problem (only 2 print to this plotter) I installed the "HP Standard TCP/IP port" from HP and it cut the time from 20+ minutes to the above <ahem> "faster" times. Anyone have experience with this? Printing to other HP printers on this network is fine. Feel free to contact me off list if you feel this isn't entirely W2K related.
