>With DOT Matrix printers, Windows will print the text in graphic mode which is much slower than text mode. Windows does come with a generic text mode printer driver which can be installed. This printer driver will print in text mode and be much faster.

If you are going to print to a predefined form, I did not have much luck with the Generic Text driver(Which did print a lot faster). I have an app with service tickest that are 8.5 by 9. I had my customer buy the OKI DATA printer and you can install a fastfont driver and you can get full control on page sizing and etc and very fast.

Hope this help.
