Document Sizes increase when printing
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? |

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. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Pieter,
I have had this problem when printing documents with photos. To make the print size smaller, I compressed the photos. If you are in Office 2003, right click on the photo, choose "Format Picture", go to the "Picture" tab and click "Compress" on the lower left corner. By compressing all of the pictures, my print times were reduced dramatically.
