I suspect this also depends on whether your printer is local or not.
Don't try printing to a locally-attached printer if your server to

Yep. We do need to do some work on USB transport latency issues.
I use an HP 7350 which is a relatively
cheap/simple printer.
Does this printer have built-in fonts and a higher-level printer
description language, or is it one of the cheap "Win Printers"
that are basically just a print mechanism connected to an interface
port?
I've never seen a spec, but assume it's the latter variety.
I've never noticed a performance issue, but I don't do lots of printing.
It's good enough for mapquest and such :-)
Cool. I don't do a lot of printing either, which is probably why I
am still using the original toner cartridge in my Lexmark laser
printer that I installed in 2002 or so.
Have you tried a simpler printer and noticed a performance issue?
No, not on a regular basis, only for testing every so often in a lab
setup.
The Lexmark PS printer worked fine for me, and for really complex
color printing tasks, I use a Windows box connected to a high-end
Canon large-format printer.
I still don't think that printing is a bandwidth-intensive task,

I think where you start to see issues is when you're using a
raster printer over a WAN connection. Couple that with the issues
we have with our USB-over-the-network transport layer, and it
can become painful waiting for the page to print.
