Digital BW, The Print

I suggest you upgrade to XP. It's been rock-steady for me since the
beginning...no issues at all with a dozen machines, including the 4 I
use today. 

With XP a big print might take 5 minutes (I've never timed). Not at
all frustrating. 

You might also look at RAM (QTR/2200 is happy with as little as 512KB)
and at free space on C-drive (do disc cleanups).
