- These are not really "trash" files. They are buffer files into which NeWSprint
- renders the image. There are two of them so NeWSprint can do double buffering.
- (NeWSprint renders into one, while it is printing from the other.)
-
- I recommend just leaving them alone. They will reserve the diskspace for
- the next print job. I have heard that it is possible to reconfigure
- NeWSprint to use only one buffer, but then you incur additional print time
- while NeWSprint serializes rendering and printing.
