I know printers take up alot of resources, but it never ceases to amaz
me just how slow a top-of-the-range computer will run just because it'
printing a document. It seems that with every version of Windows, th
problem gets worse, and seemingly with every computer upgrade. Fo
example, I was running my printing on Windows ME at 1700mhz. It slowe
the computer down a bit, but not too bad. Then I upgraded to XP an
2400mhz and it was painful. Now I'm on XP and a 3000mhz computer, wit
1ghz RAM, a massive/almost empty HD and when I'm printing, the compute
is now virtually unusable. I am printing large documents (200 pages o
so) but why is it slower on such a fast computer?
So I suppose my question is, am I doing something wrong and is ther
some setting I can tick to make the computer usuable whilst printing
