via a WAN so the local windows print spooler is used?
Apparently, XP does not use the local print subsystem the way it did prior
to XP, so your application is tied up like in the "old days" when the
application had to wait on the printer to process the job.
It now seems the application must wait on the remote spool sub-system to
respond.
This makes for very slow operation of applications.
Is there another way to configure it?
I've tested this with PCs that have the printer attached that run Windows
2000 and it does not operate this way. The local spooler takes the job, and
spools to the remote spooler, releasing the application as fast as the speed
of the local spool sub-system.
What was Microsoft thinking?
