BIG Printfiles when printing on Laserprinters

[Frank Hauptlorenz]

Hello.

If we print a presentation on a laserprinter really big printfiles are
generated (>1GByte). Why?
If we print to a normal bubble jet it prints very well. What can we do? Our
pcs are not able
to hand so big files...

The presentation does NOT contain very big images... They are certainly
normal.

Cheers,
Frank!

Check the print driver. Most likely you are using a Post Script (PS) print
driver, which PPT has a hard time communicating with. Go to a non-postscript
driver and your problems should be resolved.

No, they are no PS-Drivers. One of them is a HP 6 P with PCL-Driver and
the other one is a tally T8006 with its own printer language.

Cheers,

Frank,
How many different fonts do you use in the presentation? Your print spool
file may be large due to the need to process the fonts. The PCL printers
(like laser printers) handle the fonts slightly differently than an
inkjet/bubblejet.

Hm, yes there are transparent images. We have an Image in the background on
every page.
It's a jpg-image with unter 10 kb (this is what I meant with small).
