Zebra printers, Crystal Reports, remote location

If I remember my days of label printers, most of the printers don't have
much or any memory to store things like fonts or buffer print jobs. Were as
a laser printer has memory.
Sorry this is not much help, but I am not using Zebra printer now.

Subject: [Vantage] Zebra printers, Crystal Reports, remote location


Setting up a new remote location with cable connection at both ends,
running terminal server, and printing with Crystal to Zebra Z4M label
printer. Labels take MINUTES to print each new label. Printing custom
Crystal travelers to laser printer is slower than local but usable.

Changing label fonts to use only built in Zebra fonts speeds things
up noticeably, but print preview is poor, especially with Zebra
Scalable, which is why we were not using them to begin with.

Seems like we are overlooking something basic here.
How can printing a more complicated report to a laser printer be
faster than a label?
Is there a way to use the built in Zebra fonts but still print
preview the labels?

Any suggestions appreciated.
