Printing Reports taking abnormally long time since switching to workstations from Terminal Server.

Since moving my client from a Server 2008 Terminal Server to individual workstations, printing reports of any kind are now taking over 5-10 mins to print 5 pages.  This includes just running print preview.

I'm currently running Mas 100 ERP version 5.10.7.0 with 10 users now running Sage client on individual workstations.  Each workstation is Win 7 pro 64bit with 8GB ram. Printers are Dell Printers using an HP Driver mimic from the Terminal Server.

I have attempted to try printing to shared printer both from the Terminal Server and also a print server.  I have installed the printers locally as well with no luck.Logging into the MAS server and printing the reports still prints the jobs in 5-10 secs.  I have attached computers directly to the same switch that the server is on, but that does not help.  I have tried to get outside help from a Sage Support Company, but they were unable to help and just said they cant do anything with it.

Please let me know what I need to do to the client PCs to speed up printing in MAS!  Every other aspect, Office, web printing all print normally, just an issue in MAS

Thanks,

Keir

    Printing speed depends on what is between your server and workstation - cabling wise. If you are working over a WAN/VPN then 10 minutes to print a report is to be expected. You say that you switched from terminal server to workstation so I highly suspect you are NOT running on a LAN.
    Ping the server from a workstation, what are your average round trip times?
