When you print a document, it has to be "rasterized," that is, converted to
a bitmap. Naturally, this makes for a very large spool file.

Hi

When I try to print a word document of about 197kb in size, the print job
on
the printer notes the size as 8.15 MB and the document takes forever to
print. Is there a setting somewhere that I can set to make this smaller?
What
could be the cause of this error?
