- I read this, flipped screens, started FC, loaded a simple mortgage sheet,
- told it to print, said to put it on 1 page, and started. 3-4 minutes later,
- I aborted. Set it up again, told it PostScript, LaserJet 4 (I have a 5MP),
- told it 600dpi, and started. In 2 minutes I had my page.
-
- Of note: the 1st time I told it to do grid lines, 2nd time I didn't; also
- the computer is an A4000 with 40mHz Warp accelerator.
