iR3225 printing issues - WAN VPN

[returnoftheyeti]

I have a Canon ir3225 located in Seattle Washington. I have a Windows Server 2008R2 Print server in Oakland, CA. The 2 sites are connected by an IPSEC VPN tunnel. File and print sharing work as expected. I mean users in Seattle can open files in Oakland from a file share with no slowness or issues.

So if a user in Seattle prints a file, they print to the iR3225 that is shard from the print server in Oakland. Thus, the job travels from Seattle, to Oakland, and back to the iR3225 to print on the machine in Seattle. I have set up MANY sites like this with no issues.

If I print a 2mb PDF file it can spool to as large as 15mb, and take ages to print. The job also seems to travel extremely slow across the wire - 56kbps or less. Again, file shares and SMB work at normal speeds.

Here is an example:

Using Canon iR3225 UFRII windows x64 2.70.0.0 driver.

PCL and PS drivers are even worse.

What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

how is the driver configured and what type of port are you using?
are people printing to the same server in Oakland and if so are they experiencing any issues?

[returnoftheyeti]

The print server connects to the Printer on TCP/IP port 9100. Protocol RAW. SNMP status disabled.
The Driver is just installed "normally" (add printer wizard)
Render Print Job on Client Computer Is checked.
Spool Print Documents so program finishes printing faster
Start Printing Immeadiatly
Print Spooled Documents first
Enable Advanced Printing Features


Users in Oakland printing to Seattle - Same Slow Issue
Users in Oakland Printing to Oakland, no issues.

try unchecking the "advanced printer featuers" box. I never enable that as it causes more problems than it is worth

[ps/pcl]

CHANGE port from tcp/ip to LPR it works faster enough
