Printing is slow: Any suggestions

[Bob]

I am printing from excel to a network printer. I have the printer set to
spool print jobs directly to printer and have also selected the option to
Start Printing Immediately. I am printing to a HP Deskjet 1627 which has
its own internal nic connect to a PDC on NT Server 4.0. I print a 10 page
doc and it takes minuites to print. No sure why. The Excel Application will
sometimes become non responsive if the job is 25 pages or larger. Not sure
how to speed things up a little.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
bob

bob,

The solution that is most often recommended is to update
the printer driver on your computer.

You may want to get your IT folks involved. Give them enough information to
help.

Does it this happen from all applications?
Does it this happen from all pcs?

Maybe it's a bad NIC card, damaged cable????

(I have no idea.)

If it's just excel and it's just your pc, try emptying your windows temp folder.

Close excel (and any other running applications you can)
windows start button|Run
%temp%

And wipe out as much as you can.

(It won't hurt and it's easy to do--so it might be worth a shot???)
