OK, if you want to get the paper out of the printer faster, follow Paul's advise. Make sure there's plenty of room on your C: drive for swap files and printer files, and make sure you have the latest printer driver and video driver from the manufacturers.

Tell us what's happening when you print. Does the VFP print progress dialog box (the one counting off the pages) go by relatively quickly, or does it take a long time? Once that dialog is gone, does printing proceed normally, or slowly?

>>DOS is defiinitely faster than Windows. Are you on a network or standalone? What's your OS (Win95, Win98, WinNT, Win3.x)? Foreground or background printing? Do you want to get the paper out of the printer faster, or do you want to get back to work on your machine faster?
