Print Spooling Question

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

Inside the printer properties is a button marked print processor. It opens a
window listing the available print processor and mode. Check to see if the
various settings differ from one computer to another. If those settings are
the same, and the same windows version and apps are used, it may be that a
difference in video cards and drivers is involved.
Another possibility can occur when a printer has a large amount of RAM, and
the driver does not see the RAM or has not been told about it. Spool whole
job then print vs print while spooling can also change the spool file sizes.
