XP operating system. HP printers (directly connected by ip address)
I want to send the smallest possible prints to my laser printer. I've 
changed the resolution/quality on the printers to be the smallest possible. 
I've tried printing to postscript (ps), pcl5e. or pcl6 printers.
For text and a simple word document (one font). There is no difference in 
spooler size. For a complicated word document (with images), the ps file 
size is a lot smaller. Pcl5e and Pcl6 are the same. Its the same for pdfs. 
For instance with ps, one file was only 8.2mbytes, however it was over 
30mbytes with pcl.

It seems to me that it is usually preferable to use ps drivers if you want 
to send the smallest possible file?

(I'm testing to try and optimise slow terminal server printing, so physical 
speed of printing is not important)
