SYMPTOMS
Printing a document from any application can be much slower in Windows NT 3.51 than it is in Windows NT 3.5, when printing to an HP4 printer at 600 dots per inch (DPI). Spool files may be ten times larger under NT 3.51 than they were under 3.5.



CAUSE
The text is being printed as a graphic even though that option is not selected in the driver.

To work around this problem, set the printer to 300 DPI.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, install the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
