So possibly the only remaining problem is printing? If so what kind of

Yes. I believe this is the last hurdle. Though I haven't heard the
user complain in the last few days.

It's an HP LaserJet 4000 attached via another coworkers machine just
feet away. It's an LPT printer, and I know it has to follow the
network path to get there.. so that could count for a tiny bit of
latency.



As a fyi I have some accounts using P4 1.6 with 512 megs of ram that
seem to work fine. Some print to loaclly attached tcp printers while
others print to print servers. I do not own that domain so I do not
touch the print servers which are somewhere on the campus but where I
do not know. Print jobs have to leave the office through a router to
another router and probably one more before it makes the trip back to
the printer. I am guessing 6 router hops. Printing performance is ok.

Continuing with random thoughts. I did see horrible printing
performance once that was fixed by disabling SMB signing on the server
and in Group Policy. Minutes to do a print job that after SMB signing
was disabled took seconds.


I think SMB Signing is off on the server as I had other problems
unrelated to printing long ago, it's been so long that I cannot
honestly recall. SMB signing, however IS on for the workstations.
