Windows 2008 R2 server slow printing

We have about 5-6 servers Windows 2008 R2 in our virtual machine environment.  All of these servers are servers very low utilization, and they all work very well.  We have a few domain controllers, a SQL box and a few boxes of web application that is running IIS.  One of these domain controllers is a print server.  The print server works well, but it is very slow.  If you right-click on any printer that is added to any of the customers and go to properties, where the server is the management of print server, the client must wait 30 seconds or more for the upcoming dialog with the properties.  You can click between tabs, but the legs are also slow to react.

This means that if you make changes to the print job or the margins, for example, it may take a minute of waiting between screens.

Now, we had a physical Windows 2000 print server that has worked well until we got the VM environment, so I know the problem is in one of a few different areas.

1. it could be the VM environment.

2. it may be Windows 2008 R2 server config or the server software itself.

3 might be x 64 bit cause a problem with 32-bit clients using the box.

I have excluded #3 by a 32 bit 2008 Server on the VM environment of loading, loading of print management and then by loading a single printer and share it.  The problem is still there on the current server.  My next step is to try Windows 2003 server in virtual machine environment, but before I do, I want to throw this question very curious to the VMWare community.  All I have to do before moving on to more drastic measures?  There must be something I can do to solve the problem.

Maybe it's the solution.  Will test:
