I have just tried to print a PDF file (217 KB) received
by e-mail.

Opening the file with !PDF and using the RISC OS PoScript 2
 Printer Driver the spool file was 15MB.

I left it to print while I drove to the Post Box and back,
and only 21% of the file had even found its way to the
printer.

Transfering it to the Windows XP machine, using Adobe Reader
and the dedicated HP 2100 PostScript driver produced a spool
file of less than 0.5 MB.

Why the huge difference?
