Slow Plotting


Recommended Posts

I am using VW 8.5.1 on a Gateway PC Pentium w/ 64MB memory and NT 4.0. I am trying to print a detailed 10MB drawing directly to an Encad Cadjet 2 plotter. I say directly because I was kicked off the network as I was tying up all memory on the spooler.

Printing this file takes 10 - 12 hrs and ties up my computer the whole time!!! I only get about 1 "rastor" of the print head every 15 minutes. When viewing performance in Task Manager, 99+% of CPU usage is going to spoolss.exe rendering my computer useless.

I have verified that I have the updated driver.

Even when not plotting simply putting the mouse in VW and viewing the performance, 100% of the CPU usage is displayed.

Any solutions?
