Problem

Solutions: The following items are some ideas that help customers experiencing a slow printing speed.

1.      When using line printers, mark Print Job Graphically. Printing a job graphically causes WP to buffer memory in a different way from the normal graphic printing buffer. This allows WP to generate print jobs more quickly, although it also increases the size of the data sent to the printer. This option should be used ONLY for Line printers (dot-matrix, DeskJets, Bubble Jets, etc.) Marking this option for Page printers (laser printers) will actually increase the amount of time it takes to print.

2.      Use Print to Hardware Port. This option increases the speed at which data can flow to the printer by making calls directly to the I/O rather than depending on the BIOS to do it. This option is critical for both Page and Line printers, especially when using graphical fonts.

3.      If the two options above do not work, try optimizing the customers' computer memory. This option should not have to be used very often.
