win2k8 slow printing

Hi,

I am trying to move from windows 2003 SP2 to Windows 2008. I have created
print queues on the windows 2008 server and when my windows 2000 and xp
clients try to print it takes 1 or 2 minutes. I did google and tried the
following:

netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
netsh int tcp set global RSS=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

still slow. Next I tried:
uncheck the following option: Render print jobs on client computers
uncheck Enable advanced features

still slow.

I haven't tried the following patches:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952178
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951638

The patches talk about Vista clients and I don't have any vista clients.
Should I try the patches? Are there any other ideas on what the problem is?
I have tried printing with and without antivirus and it just takes way too
long for windows 2008 to print.

Thanks,
Jack

Hello Jack,

did you check the server event viewer for errors? Or also the client event
viewer?

no error messages. Just slow printing. Should I install the hotfixes I
mentioned?

Hello Jack,

Do you have other problems also with slow logon or Group policy problems?
There can also be a DNS problem, please post an unedited ipconfig /all from
the server and one client machine where the printing is slow.

Not that I am aware of. There are no group policy related messages in the
eventvwr.

Hello Jack,

Why do you use also the 192.168.x.x on the NIC? Another site DC/DNS server?
You should always use local site DNS server as preferred and other site DNS
servers as secondary.

We have 2 different buildings. Each building/site has its own DC/DNS
server. You are correct I will change the DNS setting when I get to work.
