My thanks for your help so far. I've already boosted the RAM in this 430 from the standard 4Mb to the max 4 + 32Mb so I guess that's as far as I can go.

I'm going to look next at other potential bottlenecks. The print jobs are being sent from various workstations to the SBS2003 server. They are spooled there and sent to the plotter. I'll have to play with options and settings next and see if I can improve matters a bit somehow.

I'm inclined to agree with you about commercial-grade HP printers. He's got a couple of 4100n lasers that just keep on going.. They feel like you could run a truck over them and they wouldn't skip a beat.
