Slow Printing - Merging Databases

Hello

I'm having a speed issue trying to print a merge. I have created a form that will print 2 sided on our Canon Imagerunners - It pulls information from several databases, and includes a portal with up to 15 lines in it. I'm working on a Win2K machine, using FM6.0 - am I exceeding the print levels of Filemaker? I need to print 5,000 records like this - it took 2 hours to RIP 300 records! There are graphics involved - simple Bitmaps, but several of them.

I have solved my own problem!

By removing all the graphics, and preprinting a shell, I was able to recreate all pertinent merge data by itself, and that sped up the process.
