Server Busy Error (or startup lag) with Solid Edge
If a user has the default printer set to a Network Printer, and the printer is off or not-contactable, then Solid Edge may experience a significant lag or a Server Busy Error while checking the printer connection.
It is recommended in SE2024 that users have the default printer set to a local printer (it can by a physical printer, or a virtual printer such as Print to PDF) to avoid lag on startup.
