    Hello All,

    Recently, I've noticed a delay in our print spooler sending jobs to the
    actual printers that the jobs are destined for. Up until a couple of days
    ago, a user could print a job from within our CRM application, and the job
    would get queued, and as long as it wasn't a queue full of jobs, it would
    print pretty much instantly to their printer. Now what is happening is that
    even if the queue is empty, it will wait for 30-60 seconds before it sends
    the job to the printer. It does this for every job that it is sending to the
    printer. So if a user prints say three transcripts for a student, then it
    takes 30-60 seconds per printout to get sent to the printer making them have
    to wait several minutes for their print-outs. As you can see, this can be
    very time consuming especially as registration for the next semester is
    underway. Anyone know what I could look at to find out why it is doing this?
    I've checked the daemons, the queues, the network. All seem to be working
    fine. At this point I'm just stumped. Thanks!
