This article was previously published under Q92972 SUMMARY
If your graphics print jobs take a long time to print to a PostScript
printer through a parallel port (LPT1-3), you can clear the Compress
Bitmaps check box in the Advanced Options dialog box to improve the
print speed. However, there is a tradeoff -- the application from
which you are printing does not regain control as fast (that is, the
hourglass takes longer to return to a pointer).
If you print through a serial port (COM 1-4), you should not clear the
Compress Bitmaps check box.
