SUMMARY

After you start Windows 95, the first document you print may take noticeably longer than subsequent documents.

MORE INFORMATION

The first time you print a document in a Windows 95 session, the print spooler must be started. Starting the print spooler can take several seconds, depending on the system configuration and hardware. Subsequent print jobs are faster because the print spooler has already been started.
