Oh, I have multi-tasking, too.  But I have more useful work for MY
CPU, than printing SOMEONE ELSE's (or even my own) files.  So,
I let my printer figure out the PS, while my CPU compiles, edits,
and does file transfers (along with background game calculations).

Just seems a LOT more logical to let the printer do its own work,
than waste system CPU bandwidth doing it.  Yeah, they lowered the
priority, but it shouldn't even be happening.
