I've just installed System 3.1.1, Finder 5.2 and LW 3.0. The last now supports
A4-sized paper correctly, but it is very slow when printing. The MacWrite
document I'm printing is plain text, nothing fancy and is set in Times Roman
only, and takes several minutes a page to print. If, however, I change to US
letter size, it speeds up enormously - at least three times as fast and
probably more. It's like the difference between going for a cup of coffee and
going for lunch.

What gives? Have I left something out of my system file? Do I need a MacW
update? (I fell into the trap of using the old Font/DA Mover when I first
installed the new System, but I've now replaced all the fonts in my System
using the new Font/DA Mover.)

Thanks in advance for any help,

Sak
