I have an asp.net(3.5) web service hosted on IIS 8.0 (Windows server 2012). This service uses crystal report for reporting and upon request from client service sends documents to a network printer for printing. What i observed is that after the print method called from service it takes more time to send the document over to printer spooler. The delay time is more than a minute. Once the document appears in the print spooler queue, it gets printed within a second.
I am bit confused with this behavior. The same service which is hosted on IIS 6.0 ( windows server 2003 R2 service pack 2) works faster. In this server documents get printed within a second after the print to printer method is called from service.
Please let me know anyone has an idea on why the same applications shows different behavior in different servers.
