Subject: [FreeNX-kNX] Remote Printing Speeds

FreeNX has proven to give fantastic performance with desktop 
applications, etc, but I was wondering if anyone has done real-world 
testing with remote printing speeds and FreeNX.  I.E, if I were to use a 
client-side printer to print a PDF that was opened on the server, would 
there be a large delay getting it to print?  Would it take as long to 
print the file as it would to download it to the client machine?

I have an application where I might need client-side printing but I 
don't want to spend the time needed to get it up and running if I'm just 
going to hit a roadblock with the printing speeds.

Thanks,
Brent Davidson

Hi Brent,

We have several users using client-side printing and haven't had any complaints about the speed.  The data is sent through a compressed ssh tunnel so it should be fine for printing things like pdf's.  Large bitmap type printouts may be slower though.
