Hi,

I have got a Word97 file which contains about 7 000 pages.
The task is to find a proper page and print it.
Finding any page is fast.
The problem is that after clicking Print -> Current page
printer performs Buffering which takes really a lot of time.
Then printing itself is fast.
Is there any method to speed up the Buffering?
I use the Win XP Pro SP2 and HP LJ P2015 printer.
The computer is equipped with USB 1.1 and 256 MB RAM.

Could anybody help me?

Regards,
Alina

USB 2.0 and more RAM.

I tried to print using another computer with USB 2.0 and 1 GB RAM
and it wasn't faster at all.
It was faster when I divided the file into small parts but in such
case finding a proper page is very difficult and it also takes time.

However I remember that I had to print pages on dimand from
a big Word97 file a few years ago and it was much faster.
The only difference was that I used Win98SE then.
I used the same Office 97 and even slower laser printer.
Is it possible that the printing is slower under WinXP Pro
than under Win98SE?

Sorry, I asked a wrong question. If I remember it well,
it is possible. I wanted to ask if there is any reason that
printing ("random") pages from a big file is faster under
Win98SE than under WinXP Pro?
