How should I speed up printing to network shared printer?
When printing to a printer that is connected to a remote computer in your LAN, delayed printing can occur. It can take a very long time from starting print job on your computer to label actually leaving printer on the other side of the network. The network infrastructure (cabling and network equipment) is usually not the problem here. You should change the approach you are using when connecting to network shared printers. There are two methods used in using network shared printers. The first one is to use the printer driver directly from the computer that is sharing its printer. This method is the most intuitive one as Windows automatically installs the drivers from remote computer, when you double-click the network shared printer. Please note that this method is the slowest.
