RE: Terminal Server printing question
Thanks! Filemon did the trick. One of the related files was making a call to \\server\fms2000 file:///\\server\fms2000 , which exists on a server the user no longer has access to. I assume it timed out, and then looked to the new location. I edited the hosts file to redirect \\server file:///\\server traffic to the local machine, and the slowness is gone.

RE: Terminal Server printing question
Glad I can help, used that a lot in my Citrix Admin days, to find the weird ones, those 2 tools are your bread and butter to find, what is going on behind the scenes of an application when its acting poorly. Usually application problems in Citrix are usually file permissions/registry permissions or user rights issues in which the application needs to work in a multi-user environment.
