Hi, Al.

Thanks for replying. This is a Netware 5.1 network with W2K workstations. The application is VFP 6, SP5.

We are printing right to the windows printer as usual. If we select a local or remote printer out of NDPS, everyting is right. Selecting any printer in the NDPS makes any report to take one minute or more to print, holding the PC busy in the meantime (with the hourgalss mouse pointer). Then the print job comes out of the printer as usual.

They use a Novell Client. Problem is that they use NDPS since quite a long time and haven't had any troubles with other applications. I didn't find nothing in the Novell knowledge base about any problem with some type of applications. All the notes I found over slow printing are general problems, where EVERYTHING is slowed, and none of the fixes proposed worked.

Any idea?

Thanks again.
