Jpeg file size increases 20X when I send to printer.

Hello,
why does the size of the jpeg file dramatically increase in size when I send it to the printer to print? I have a Vista 64 bit machine and an HP J6480 Office Jet printer. This wasn't happening before so something unknown to me has changed. Any ideas???

It wasn't happening before what ? Maybe you just didn't notice it, but the file has to be decompressed.

No the jpeg file wasn't increasing before this past Tuesday. Before that I didn't have a problem printing so something unknown to me has changed.
