Printing with AcroReader 7.0

Printing is consuming 100 % CPU cycles.  Since I have a number of 50 to 200
page PDFs to print and the printer (Nec Superscript 1260) handles these at
about 7 pages a minute, this adds up to a lot of time (7-25 minutes) this
adds up to a lot of time with an unusable computer.

The computer is a P4 2.53 GHz, with a gig of memory, so I don't think that's
the problem.

Anyone have similar problem?  Anyone have a solution?

Thanks much!

Mike

Microsoft task switching appears to be at the root of your problem.  You 
might be able to confirm this if you're able to do a comparison with OS/2 
which handles task switching effectively.

Unfortunately, OS2 is not an option.

Thanks,
