Thanks David, I'll give the local setup and direct to the IP# a shot. The printer is on the LAN printserver, no jetdirect. The OS is Win2K, the printer is fine with all else on the system and is fine with WP8 after theinitial print request. No speed problems with the application, it whirrs along just fine. I agree it seems to be print setup related, I just don't know where to look to correct in WP8.
Thanks again fo ryour feedback.

I'm glad to see that it worked for you! Win2K is a funny beast when it comes to printing. If everything is not just the way that it expects it to be, you will have the type of problem that you described.

Good luck in your endeavors!!!
