Hi Cari,
Because of the size of my hard drives, I defrag them bi-weekly and happened
to do so last night. The disk clean-up program only shows 90k of potential
files to be removed. (I use a defragging script to defrag all of the
partitions overnight while running
Windows in the safe mode.) I just checked the C drive with the Windows
defrag analysis tool, and it is showing
0% in Total, File and Free space fragmentation.
The C drive has 3 GB available right now, on a 12 GB partition. I keep my
Temp & Temp folders on another partition which has 2 GB available. Adobe
Photoshop's scratch disk is on another partition with a very large capacity.
I did try using the printer on my 7 year old laptop, which only has 96 MB
RAM and a 300GB processer and is running ME.
I printed a test file with IrfanView on both it and my desktop. They printed
at about the same speed. (I had not previously
tested the printer on the laptop, so I don't know whether these results are
relevant to anything, but thought I would mention
it.)
If you can think of anything else, I would be happy to try it.
thank you,
Calliope
