IMHO, that wouldn't improve the print time at all... just wasting time in processing the images. The long time it's taking - in my hypotesis - it's for transmitting the image's data. If you don't change the data, the time would remain the same. OTOH, if the user changes the data (i.e. lowering the resolution, if it's excessive; or converting from RGB to Grayscale, or from Grayscale to Bitmap - if that doesn't diminish the image quality), could actually lower the transmission time. In the end, it depends on the way the image has been saved. More info about it (resolution, bit depth...) could help. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
