Hi

I have not noticed any performance hit going pure IP,  We use  Axis Print servers which are 10/100 pocket print servers (http://www.axis.com/products/axis_5400p/index.htm). The axis print servers support ALL Plateforms (see data sheet  - http://www.axis.com/documentation/datasheet/5400p_5600p/datasheet.pdf) So in a 10/100 based network we don't really see straight IP printing an issue on eCS workstations. All other wkstns (refering to windoz print via  NDPS). Also with eCS it does a great job of multitasking anyways and so performance in my case does seem to be there. Also one can tweak the spooler if necesary but I have not had to do that to my existing wkstns yet.

The benefit of not relying on a queue is if the server is down I can still print to the printer. Vaughn

 

NetWare vs IP printing: The real benefit of printing the NetWare queue is getting the load off of the workstation, which in turn then feeds the printer. You don't notice any performance hit feeding data to the printer directly?
