Long Print Times w/ Publisher mail merge

N

nextdayair

I frequently have mail merge documents cretaed in Pub 2007. They work great,
but it takes forever publisher to release/spool these documents to the
printer, and for the documents to print. I think I understand why this
happens, what I am after is a way to print faster. Does anyone have any
tricks to reduce the file size that is sent to the printer? Surely there must
be a way around this, a way to print these mail merges faster. Anyone?

Do you have a lot of images? Gradients? Is your printer driver current? Have you
looked at the printer settings? Can you change the spooler settings, does it
help? Have you thought about merging to a PDF and then printing the PDF. Step 3
of the Mail Merge task pane, Merge to a new publication. Save as a PDF or
Publisher as a PDF.
