I have a user here that has a file of 1.7 Mb. When she prints the
file (One page) it spools to over 160 Mb and locks the printer. I
have tried this on a number of different computers and printers with
the same problem.

The report is a couple of pages long but if you print only one, or
them all you get the same problem.

Any ideas???

Three things

1) Does it show only two pages in preview?
2) Have you updated the print drivers?
3) Does it have lots of graphics or charts, etc?

Any of the above could be the issue
