RE: Printer through a shared printer is horribly slow.

I appreciate the replies but I am very familiar with setting up a shared
printer. The printer is already shared but printing from vista to XP is just
terribly slow. I was just looking to see if anyone else is experiencing the
issue. The driver I used for the printer on the XP machine is actually
compatible for XP and Vista. The printer works fine thru most application its
just that it locks up printing from Peachtree.
