We have a linksys print server (wired) and 3 printers. The problem is that whenever we print more than 20 copies of the same text document, after about the 20th page, it slows down by only printing 2 pages every 5-10 seconds. Each file in the print que is only 500 bytes. The spool folder fills up with files and even when I move the spool folder to another hdd the problem occurs. The only solution which worked was to choose the setting "print directly to the printer". However, that causes a problem when we try printing two seperate long documents to the same printer - the 2 docs get mixed together, it doesn't wait for one doc to finish printing before printing the next one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
