When Print Manager is spooling a print job, the size of the spool file
is not available. When the document has been completely spooled, the
display in Print Manager gets updated correctly.
 
Print Manager does not update the print job size while spooling
because:
 
 - The information is not available when printing to an OS/2 or Windows
   for Workgroups print server.
 
 - Continually updating the display would cause a serious performance
   decrease. Because spooling is a performance-sensitive measure of print
   speed, the print-job size is not update while the job is being
   spooled.
