I have written a macro that will print out all Word documents in a folder.

It works fine!!! All 30 or so files are sent to print in the order required.

Trouble is that the first 10  - 15 files (each a page or so long) go to the
print queue and sit there with a status of "Spooling". The next 10 (all 5 -
10 pages) go to the print queue, process, and start printing. The first 10 -
15 files then sort themselves out and print, followed by the last batch.

I have tried:
- put a delay of up to 20 seconds between each file print request.
- tried foregound vs background printing
- checked print settings for each print file.
- printed to printer and to prn file
- shutting down all unneccasary programs on the PC

All suffer the above problem, but not exactly the same, sometimes only the
first 5 - 10 files will stick in "Spooling" Status !

Anybody have any ideas????

Cheers
