Ways to Improve Print Speed in Windows

To improve printing speed, you can try the following:
Turn off the Print Manager in the Windows Control Panel
(Windows 3.1 only)
This avoids the extra step of sending the print file to the Print
Manager and may increase your printing speed by as much as 25%,
depending on the computer you are using.
Add a permanent swap file in Windows 3.1
Under the 386 Enhanced icon in the Windows Control Panel, add or
create a permanent swap file that is from 4 MB to 9 MB. The
computer will be able to prepare the print file faster. See your
Windows documentation for instructions.
Avoid diffusion halftones
In the Quality tab, choose Diffusion for Halftoning only when
printing final output or photographic images. Choosing a
Halftoning setting of Fine/Fast allows documents to print as much
as 20% faster because the computer does not need to compute to
"best possible position" for each dot. To select a Halftoning setting,
click the Main tab in the printer driver. Then double-click the
Advanced button and click the Quality tab.
Avoid color adjustment
Disable the Color Adjustment option. This feature takes longer to
process in the computer because it requires special information. To
disable Color Adjustment, click the Main tab in the printer driver.
Then double-click the Advanced button and click the Color tab.
