my software running SQL database

On the client PC, open taskmanager and see what application is consuming 100% of the CPU time when you are doing printing for the SQL software. Also find out for how long the CPU remains ith high CPU usage.

Next, open any MS office application and give a print job, observe if the CPU utilisation goes up.

Let me know this and some more details such as the client OS, and the nature of the SQL application.

Whenever i print, the cpu usage goes up to 100% causing my cpu to slow down..

I print about 2mb size...around 150 pages on Epson LQ-2170

The resolution is 180x180

I have tried on Win98SE, no problem??

Wht happen to this win2k professional??? have tried on other computer with Win2k Pro..same...thing

Ty...please help

Is the Epson printer attached locally to the Win2K PC? or are you printing to this over the network?

1. Check for the correct Win2K drivers for this printer.

2. Open the printer properties, go to the Advanced Tab and ensure that the option Print directly to the printer is selected. You may be having spooling enabled and for the lengthy file that you are printing, this is taking a while and also CPU is overworked. Try printing directly to the printer.

Through parallel port.. printing around 7mb of data...

If i get a print server. will it solved everything??

or is there any other solution

Have tried print directly..still the same...worst

TY
