Draft mode (straight text, built-in fonts) is max speed. Rendered postscript is generally *pretty* fast. It's only on very complex documents that they bog down. I used to print graphics with something on the order of 100k - 500k elements on them. Rendering these would bog. I discovered that printing the resulting graphics file (e.g.: GIF) or even a bitmap, was far faster. -- Karsten M.
