I am very pleased with my HP Deskjet on my home PC.  It works great from
graphics packages and spreadsheet packages (such as DrawGal and Quattro).

However, I am displeased at the speed that WordPerfect 5.1 prints out
graphics to that printer.  It sends any graphical output, even simple lines
around tables, a pixel line at a time.  The Deskjet head passes across the
page seemingly 150 times per inch!!  This seems to take place whenever
WorkPerfect is ever mixing multiple graphic images in the same character
line, or if it is mixing text and graphics on the character line.

Does anyone know of a speed-up to this slow printing?  Does WordPerfect
have a "fix" or workaround to this problem?

Thanks
