First of all I want to thank you all for the suggestions on printing lag time. I have been really perplexed about the whole situation. Last week 3 of the computers linked to a particular switch malfunctioned, the hardware people came in and replaced the switch alas the problem is gone. They can not enter data fast enough and the printer is on fire. Problem solved. Just wanted to let you all know it was a hard ware problem. Trust me I spend too many hours on this problem not to share this information.
