None of the things you suggested seemed to help - printing directly was no
faster and tied up the computer too. Cleaning files etc. was no help either.
I did notice, while checking the document as it sat in the spooler (by
double clicking my printer that it was set to the lowest priority. I
adjusted the printer settings from lowest to highest priority, but the
documents still show lowest priority and changing that doesn't speed the
process.
