Very slow printing to shared ME printer

Pentium III Windows ME machine that functions very well on its own.
Motorola cable modem
Linksys WRT54G wireless router
One Motorola Vonage ATA plugged into the router
One Linksys RT31P2 router/ATA Vonage adapter plugged into the router



Yesterday I created a Windows workgroup using the ME machine and two XP
laptops (one laptop using wired connection, the other using wireless
connection). The only shared device is an Epson CX5800F multi-function
printer on the ME machine. The workgroup set up okay, and the computers can
see one another. I think the basic config is alright.

However, printing from the XP machines to the shared Epson on the ME machine
takes a long, long time - approximately 3-5 minutes. Printing from the ME
machine, however, is immediate.

What might be going on here?

And please let me know what important info I left out. I will fill in the
blanks where I can.

Thank you,


jm

Check the spooling settings on the remote PC - the one that isn't connected
directly to the printer. Try various combinations of the settings there to
speed up printing.
