3.2. The test

We made scripts in Winbatch that creates 2 different Word documents. The documents contained both text in varios sizes and fonts together with graphics. During creation of the documents we did "print preview" several times and printed the document at the end. Word were always in the view "Print Layout", we belive the printer driver then is used to format the document on the screen.

Each driver were tested with 20 users running the scripts simultaneously for a period of 4-8 hours, submitting approx 800 print jobs during the test.
