Or are you talking about printing in the background? I find PCL printing (under Windows) will print a document in seconds, maybe less, while PoScript can take minutes in terms of the time it takes for the data to get to the printer. Trouble is, again talking windows and the USB->parallel connection, that PCL printing often delivers corrupted prinouts, while PoScript is more likely to fail with no printing at all. There are times, though, when just part of the document prints. From RISC OS there are no serious problems printing documents from RO applications, most of my Easiwriter documents produce PoScript files around 10x the document size, which take some 10 to 15s to print. But some PDFs of quite a sensible size produce RO PoScript files of several MB and can take 30 minutes or more to print, while under Windows it is a few hundred KB But as I always print in the background, I have use of the computer after a couple of seconds anyway. -- Russell http://www.russell-hafter-holidays.co.uk Russell Hafter Holidays E-mail to enquiries at our domain Need a hotel? <http://www.hrs.com/?client=en__blue&customerId=416873103>
