I've been scratching my head / Researching / Talking with our printer support company and so far have had no results, so here I am. This is definitely a seemingly strange issue. A few weeks ago, I rolled out phase one with converting from using local users/groups to an AD system on our server (running Server 2008 R2), specifically installing the role on our server but still operating our computers on a workgroup rather than domain. Coincidentally around this time, our Lanier printers developed a 30-90 second delay when printing. Once the first print job goes through, everything else will print instantly for a period of time (minutes?). The strange thing is that this delay happens when connecting both through the print server and connecting directly to the printer so I don't believe this is an AD problem, but the timing was almost too...
