We are having issues printing to different Konica printers.
Basically if we print hi-res PDF (usually layered) or large power point (with animation)files it takes many minutes till the printer spits out the first page.
You can watch the job in the queue and it is a large sized job in the queue. -- The print job gets bigger than the actual file.
For example.
a 24 page PDF that is about 20 MB will be 400+ mb in the print queue.
If we flatten the file it seems to help.
Also if we change the printer setting on the server to print directly rather that queue the printer get the job sooner and starts printing faster.
We would like to avoid having to change all our files so the print direct option seems to help.
But if the server or the print spooler service on the server restarts the printers all default back to use the print queue.
