Thanks. I hope in time, we don't have to resort to these sort of mails to mailing lists so that ppl know about us. :-( > I want to give you one heads up.

Now this is a first I've heard of. I printed a few copies on an HP ColorLaserJet (can't remember the Model) and it came out in like 10 min. HP LaserJet 5N also no issues. Is this a bubblejet? Acroread/Acrobat/xpdf/gpdf?? Would be good to know if it's the printer or the pdf or the pdf app. What if you print a NON graphic page? How long that does take? 36 pages = 3 hours = 1 hour ~10pages = ~5 min per page?? > -- > Claude Jones > Bluemont, VA, USA > -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
