I am using Microsoft TCP/IP printing on a NT 4.0 server in Texas to print to a HP4050 with a jet direct card in Atlanta. The connections at each end are through the internet using a 1mb connection at each end. Jobs less than 3 pages print fine but over 3 pages encounters errors and begins to retransmit the job over and over again. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommend any third party print utilities for NT?

Thanks

The simple answer is that you are always going to have problems sending medium to large prints over the internet.

I would suggest that if the printer in Atlanta is manned that you mail the prints to a local user for printer. Better still simply mail the prints to the end user for them to print themselves.

If it is imperative that you print remotely you will have to increase the link bandwidth to at least 2Mb

I found some great software by Brooksnet that solved all my problems. TCP/IP printing over the internet works great.
