Try going to the printer's setup properties and search for a box called
"print type" or "data type" or something to that effect; you're probably
printing in RAW format - which is pretty much what it sounds like. You
need to be printing in EMF for NTEMF (if you're using NT), and find the
option that says "spool before printing" and make sure it spools all the
pages before it starts printing.
email me back if you need more help.
