 I run an accounting program called Quick Book (Windows based) from
 Intuit which is at least one step above Quicken.  At tax time I have
 several reports to print out with at least 2 over 50 pages long.  Takes
 me about an hour with changing reports and turning paper around for
 double side printing.  Application resides on computer with printer
 attached but interface to program on all computers on network and it
 make no difference in which computer is accessing the application as to
 the printing speed that I can detect.
