Will definitely speed up your jobs - memory will hold more of the print job - esp if it's bitmaps.

Early lser printers were sometimes called page printers, in so much s they would form the page in memory and then print it out in one go. With limited memory in these printers you could get your page with graphic appearing half printed in one page and then the other half printed on the next page. Often the only way to get a complete page to print was to drop the printer resolution down from say 300 DP to 150 DPI, which of course caused a reduction in print quality - graphics and text. Whether lser printers now a days still use the same method or not I don't know. Perhaps some use the excess memory as some sort of print buffer, which won't speed up the printing but it will release the PC earlier for other work. Ed.
