slow printing.

[Johannes Weberhofer]

Hi!

Unfortunately I don't have a NTWS here, but if I remember right, you
have to open the printer first, then you will find something like "job
properties" in the file menu where you can do these settings. I think
you have to have administrator rights to change these settings.
