business card printing creates large file

[Dave]

If I print 500 business cards to my laser printer, it spools a massive 500
meg file and it takes 20 minutes to get started. I unchecked the collate box
thinking this might do something, but it did not. Any ideas on this one?

What version Publisher?

A document may take a longer time than expected to print or the print spool file
may be larger in Office 2003 or in Office XP
