The users are getting increasingly frustrated with the delay and we have so far been unable to find a solution to this problem.
The strange thing is that when printing from the machines within the IT department documents print out almost immeditely to any of the printers withing the company.

Oh My Bad i just saw this thread after 3 4 years :P I am sure UKBIT got new printer :) well this problem is very common with other users too, if someone facing the same kind of problem they should need to change their printer and get a HP Laser Jet printer series because HP printers is mind blowing for office printing need.

You are all using the same drivers which are set to print right away. I guess you have to wait for the queue of spooling of the printer so that it will take it little by little.
