[comp.sys.mac.system] Slow Printing w/7.0f2

Since getting and installing System 7.0f2, also had problems w/7.0b4, I have
noticed that when I try to print in best quality to my ImageWriter II it takes
a very long time to print a document.  Considerably longer than it took under
6.0x.  When I print from Nisus, for example, it does one line, thinks about
the next pass, does another pass, and then gives a line feed.  This is annoying
has anyone else noticed this change in print time, or is it just me?

hi,
I also had this slow printing problem with sys 7b4 and a Deskwriter. The
problem vanished when I added more physical RAM to the machine. I wonder
if it had to do with physical/logical RAM relations. I guess that the VM
was always busy swapping the print image every time he discovered a new
bit to be printed ;-). Now that my logical RAM is only twice as large as 
the physical, the problem seemed to be vanished into thin air.
