-
- To test if its the parallel port/hardware (unlikely) ,
- use CMD (workbench:tools/cmd) , then copy "ram:CMD_FILE par:"
-
- This essentially cuts the processing for multiple pages ;)
-
- I do something similar with PrintManager2.0 (copy the spoolfile before it gets
- sent to the printer)
-
- Studio (the image print part) isn't designed for speed...it can print *any*
- size graphic ( 10 meg pic on a 2 meg 'puter anyone?) at the expense of speed.
- (prints in strips)
-
-
- What apps are you printing from? I may be wrong ;) , but I think most amiga
- printing programs (FW etc included) are at present optimised for low memory
- usage, not high speed at the expense of memory.
