>I'll suggest the way I usually do this. The first thing you gotta have in mind is the printer driver you use. I often use Epson lx-810 or Epson fx-1050 drivers since these have all the fonts needed for a fast dot matrix printing. If you are not using an Epson printer you can easily emulate almost any kind of printer to an Epson. After the printer's drivers are instaled you'll need to set the print quality setting on draft, this is needed to improve printing speed.
