Windows Tips: Quick and Easy Ways to Master Windows Printing

Printing is one of the activities we've come to take for granted in Windows--until it doesn't work. Don't wait until then to dig into the secrets of Windows' printing powers. These tips make getting hard copies faster and easier. Every time you tell one of your applications to print, the information goes to a spool file on your hard disk before being sent to the printer. Windows starts channeling data to the printer as soon as the spool file has enough information to print the first page, even if the data is still moving from the application to the spool file. This is a compromise between freeing your application sooner and getting your printed document quicker. If you're not in a compromising mood, don't settle for Windows' default arrangement. (Note that these tips may not work for some printers, including network printers and devices set to print to a file.)
