The reason your color printing is so slow is because the HP 500C is slow
especially if you are printing a complex color document. Part of this problem
is caused by the HP print driver. Getting a more efficient print spooler might
help some but you still have a slow printer in the end. There are two other
things you could do.
1. Try printing at a lower print resolution. Printing fewer dots is faster.
2. Buy a new printer such as the HP 1200C. It is much faster, has a better
Windows print driver, and prints better overall.
Hopes this helps,

Subject: Printing windows from winMDI
Fellow FACSers....
I have now been using winMDI for a few weeks and am impressed with its
graphics capability on screen, and its intuitive use of drop-in/drop-down
menus. The problem is printing the formatted page with up to 8 histogram
windows.....
It is apallingly slooooow!.... Neal Benson has suggested the use of
SuperQueue/SuperPrint to speed things up.. has anyone else got any
suggestions? The printers in use are a HP Deskjet 500C (for colour) and a
rather nice Apple Laserwriter 16/600PS (for black and white). What's
printing like from CellQuest on the Mac, is this also slow, especially for
colour? The fact that the HP9000/340 can spool so efficiently implies that
some work must have gone into this part of Lysis II.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Thanks... Don
