Word 2002 slow printing multiple copies
All my single-page Word 2002 documents are slow to print multiple copies
with my Dell 1100 laser printer. The files are 50K-300K long. I am running Windows XP, have 50GB hard disk space free and have 512MB RAM. Other files (eg EXCEL or JPEG up to 1.5 MB) are fine. Can I change anything? Any help would be appreciated David |

I understand that you gain speed with printing copies only in the latter part (for the cost of having to sort the output manually, of course :-)). Well, that applies as long as the printer is unable to hold all pages of the printjob in memory, I presume.

Word 2002 slow printing multiple copies
No. I'm only printing one-page files but I ask the printer for about 20
copies of it. After the usual delay for the first page it delays AGAIN for each page afterwards. No such delay with multiple copies of other one-page files such as JPEG or EXCEL. Does Word 2002 load anything else when you print? David "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote in message ...

Word 2002 slow printing multiple copies
A workaround I find is to load the Word files into the Sun Microsystems
OpenOffice writer. This prints multiple copies perfectly. David "David Gibbons" wrote in message .uk... No. I'm only printing one-page files but I ask the printer for about 20 copies of it.

Hi David
Glad you found a solution that works for you. David Gibbons wrote: No. I'm only printing one-page files but I ask the printer for about 20 copies of it. Yes, but _where_ are you asking it, in which dialogue? IOW, is it Word that already knows about the copies, or only the printer?

Word 2002 slow printing multiple copies
It is the combination of WORD and the Dell 1100 laser printer. The same file
will print multiple copies on an Epson Stylus Photo 950, (which I normally reserve for colour printing). In both OOW and in WORD I normally enter the number of copies needed in the printer dialogue. It's no problem now I've got a solution, but the cause is a mystery David "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote in message ... Hi David Glad you found a solution that works for you.
