I am running WFW on a Gateway 386-25 (non-cache) with an 80mb IDE (17ms)
drive, and printing on a Panasonic KXP1124 printer.
To print a 10 page paper using Helvetica 13 points, double spaced takes about
40 minutes!!
I have heard that WFW prints slowly, but this is ridiculous!  There is a lot
of hard drive access going on, right until the last page.  Draft mode (in WFW)
takes exactly the same time, and produces the same visible results (to my
eyes).  How can I speed this up, and can I print out quick rough copies
somehow?
Help!
