Hi Everyone,

I've created what I thought was going to be a relatively easy application
to send 5 page print jobs to printers throughout our company. I am getting
extremely large spool files and it is causing serious performance
problems. Using a Windows 2000 server, printers are HP LaserJet 4100 and
4200 using PCL 6 drivers. Spool sizes on the 4100 are ~4MB and on the 4200
they are in excess of 12MB.

The pages contain mostly text, a small (3k) gif on one page, and some
various rectangles drawn on 3 of the 5 pages. Fonts are all Arial with
sizes from 7-12. It is a black and white document containing no alpha that
I know of. I've tried writing the job to an offscreen image as specified
here:

but the quality was very bad and the spool size was larger.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Justin
