network printing slow locally

[shadowlands]

i have tried different drivers(8000,5000,2200,...), always the same, right side or both sides are being cut off

tomorrow i will try to print to a pdf writer

the only driver where it isn't cut off is the 4250 PCL 6

From that client, download and run cleanspl.exe (resource kit tool), making sure NOT to delete the Microsoft print providers (like TCP monitor, etc) but removing any HP or non-Microsoft drivers prompted (if not sure, google it ). Once you've done that, reboot the client and reattach the queue (hopefully you still have that queue set up to use a Windows 2003 inbox driver from the Windows CD.....), and see if it reproduces, or starts working again.

i have just tried this on my home pc, but it just deletes everything on the spooler, even if i say no when prompted?

so all printers were gone

Correct - which is why I suggested you'd have to reboot the machine and re-attach (install) the print queue again.
