Hmm... generally it is controlled by the printer driver... ie.. report form to printer prompt...

Go to the options and set it to draft.. then OK the print...

If this doesn't work... a nice tirck to speed up Dot Matrix Printing via windows is to bypass the windows print driver...

create the report TO FILE ASCII ... The copy the file to lpt1:...
