Printing

[Terence Heaford]

Between the print setup and the print dialog:

4 attempts

1 = 8 seconds
2 = 7 seconds
3 = 4 seconds
4 = 5 seconds

Between the print dialog and preview (preview always closed before printing)

1 = 5 seconds
2 = 6 seconds
3 = 4 seconds
4 = 1 second

Mountain Lion 10.8.5

Thanks

Terry
