- This is a known bug, but NOT in WfW; it's the postscript printer driver! (I'll
- bet that's what you're using.) With a document containing both landscape
- and portrait pages, the printer driver starts eating resources.
-
- The fix:
-
- ftp to:
- ftp.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.20.84)
-
- and navigate to:
- pub/pc/win3/drivers/printer
-
- and binary transfer file:
- pscript.exe
-
- this is an updated postscript printer driver which fixes this bug. HTH
