Slow printing windows 7 network http ports

[Guest VFPstillrules]

Windows 7 professional 64 bit, 16gb ram, 3.4 mhz processor.

 

I have read many many posts about this. HOWEVER, I print directly to the printers. Http via Cups. I can load my old XP machine as a VM on the windows 7 machine and it prints immediately! Have already disabled items with netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled (RSS autotuninglevel as well), bidirectional, spooling, firewall, anti virus and still the problem persists.

 

Since it prints fast from same machine with XP and all the other users on the network still using XP print fine. I know it is Win 7. My printer ports are listed as internet ports. (ie: http://myserver:631/printers/printername) The system is slow whether it prints to a digital Ricoh, a Brother laser, an Epson laser or the okidata dot matrix printers. So I doubt it's a driver issue. Hope I have given enough information. Cheers
