[comp.protocols.appletalk] PRINTER SLOOOOOWDOWN

HELP! 

We have a printer on our AppleTalk network that is printing
very SLOOOOOOOOWLY ... but only for Macs on the opposite end of
the chain.

Here's the setup:

  UPNTX -- ( macs * 12 ) -- LW -- NTX -- ( macs * 12 ) -- DOWNNT

A MacIICX  directly to the left of LW prints fine everywhere.
A MacPlus  to the left of that prints 10 times slower to DOWNNT.
All Macs to the left of that print 10 times slower to DOWNNT.
Does anyone have any suggestions?  We have about 29 nodes
and about 700' of cable.
