The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Creative Writer for Windows, version 2.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
In Creative Writer 2, print jobs may spool to very large files. This can slow
down printing, or even halt the printing process entirely.
RESOLUTION
==========
There are several factors to consider in the spooling of a print job:
- Decrease printer dpi. The dpi of the printer affects the complexity, and
therefore size of the spooled file.
- Decrease color depth. The video driver in use affects complexity; higher
color depths increase spool files.
- Decrease complexity. Multiple stickers, backgrounds, and/or borders increase
the complexity of a document spool file.
- Increase free hard disk space. Hard disk space can be consumed by spool
files. On machines with little free hard disk space, more complex documents
may not print.
Creative Writer 2 creates very large spool files by design. Use the steps
outlined above to avoid difficulties when printing.
