Server 2008 Slow Printing
Posted: Wed Nov 10, 2010 5:09 pm
I run Cougar Mountain Accounting which uses R&R for printing. We use RDP to connect via terminal services to a Windows Server where the software is running. We have been using Server 2003, but recently replaced the server with Windows 2008. Now, anything from CMS that uses R&R prints extremely slow. These same reports that on Server 2003 would print in 10 seconds now take 15 minutes or more. We have disabled Easy Print, and that has helped where there are server drivers for the corresponding printer, but not all printers can be matched to a driver on Server 2008. It looks like CMS uses v12.1.01 of RRWRUN.EXE.____BTW, it is only the CMS reports that are slow. Documents from MS Word, QuickBooks, etc. all print in a reasonable time.
