Other Ways to Improve Print Speed in Windows

To improve printing speed, you can try the following:
Avoid diffusion halftones
In the Custom Settings dialog box, choose Diffusion for halftoning
only when printing final output or photographic images. Choosing
Fine allows documents to print as much as 20% faster because the
computer does not need to compute to "best possible position" for
each dot.
Avoid screen matched color
In the Custom Settings dialog box, avoid Match as the Color
Adjustment setting. The screen matching feature takes longer to
process in the computer because it requires special information.
Avoid automatic settings
Although the automatic settings are easy to use, the computer must
interpret the printed page. This takes more time than if you select
each setting.
Free up your memory
Use only one software program at a time and unload any screen
saving utilities or programs stored in Windows background; this
frees up more memory for Windows processing.
