Vista -- Completed print jobs wait in queue 2 minutes before clear

I've set up a new Vista system (home premium) and am having
an issue with printing through an IP-based printserver (using
lpr queues) that does not occur under Windows XP.

Print jobs start printing immediately but upon completion, stay
sitting in the print spooler queue on vista for about 2 minutes
before clearing. In XP they clear immediately upon completion
of printing.

This prevents a second job in the queue from starting right away.

Workaround is to delete the job from the queue each time after
the printing has finished.

This behavior has not occured on a multiple XP systems using
the same print setup configuration, which have been in use for
several years. It occurs for multiple printer models connected
to the same printserver (Hawking PS12U) when the job is initiated
from Vista.

Any ideas? Posts in various locations suggest there could be
problems with the new auto-tuning feature in the Vista IP
stack which may or may not be contributing to this issue.

I've had the same problem with a TrendWare print server. The printer works
fine when connected directly to the computer. It turns out that the
printserver does not support Vista. The solution is either to get a new
printserver or share the printer from the computer its connected to.
