I have an application that prints several pages of a report to a Laserjet III printer by using the printer object. The report is mostly text with some border lines. Everything seems to go ok until I call the .newpage method as this operation takes an age to complete. Does anyone have any idea how to get round this? Graham PS I have tried this on a 386 25MHz and a 486 33Mhz, both are slow There is 1 Reply.

Graham, Right you are about NewPage. The reason is that your handy old windows is busy building a pretty 300 DPI picture of your page to send to the printer. This is especially true if you're using ATM or another scaler. The answer? There isn't one. George
