In my month of Windows print driver research purgatory (I could use some
holy water), one of the VERY FEW things which has worked consistantly is
TBCP. In my tests with 8 "problem documents" with 8 permutations of
operating system, driver, and printer manufacturer, NOT ONE problem was
attributable to TBCP.
In one case, it reduced the size of PostScript for printing a Word
document with color images in it from 92MB to 22MB.
I am convinced that TBCP can reliably decrease the amount of time
required to generate, transmit, and process the kind of image-intensive
print jobs which are becoming more and more commonplace.
Before I jump feet-first into converting everything to TBCP, could you
be more specific about the "evil things" which "have been known to
happen"?
Thanks,
