It has however been very slow. Probably the best way to speed up graphics is to compress the graphics data using PCL compression methods. This reduces the heavy I/O load. If you cannot re-write the graphics driver to do compression, then the next best thing is to use a filter which reads PCL uncompressed, and outputs PCL compressed. I just happen to have done this already. The speedup for graphics printing is amazing. If there is enough interest, I may post this program to the net. -- Tony -- Tony Parkhurst ( tony@sdd.HP.COM ) "free people need no drug laws" -- James A. Parker
