If someone can answer this I'll buy them a six pack!
Here's the situation:
Our office, in Baton Rouge, has a full T-1 with a Cisco 1700 series router. We have a VPN connection to another office, in Atlanta, but I don't know what type of connection they have. The citrix server is in Atlanta and we connect to it to run one program. I have loaded the latest citrix client on our workstations and i have loaded the print drivers that the Atlanta office told me to use so our clients could print to thier locally connected printers. We only have 7 or 8 people who connect to Atlanta at any given time. All of our clients are using either HP2100's or HP2200's connected via USB or LPT1. Our clients print out reports from citrix. Some of the reports may be very long, up to 20 or 30 pages. I ran this test yeaterday:
Workstation 1 pirnted 19 page report in 54 minutes and print queue showed 34MB when done.
Workstation 2 printed SAME 19 page report in 8 minutes and print queue showed 11MB when done.
This problem is random and it happens on a daily basis. I have monitored our bandwidth and we are only using about 15% of it on average. The IT staff in Atlanta are a bunch of assholes and blame everything on our network.
Anyone got any ideas?
