Maybe, you're using wrong fonts. Read here: http://www.thefreewa...?showtopic=3916, especially reply #8

It's the default font. But that isn't too important. As shown earlier I had to disable toe parallel port in device manager, but with it disabled I can't print. Is there a way to fix it so I can turn it on without it consuming vast amounts of CPU cycles?

I'd start with reinstalling printer driver.

How would I go about doing that?

Turn off computer, and a printer.
Disconnect printer from the computer, and from the power source.
Turn on computer.
Go Start>Run, type in:
devmgmt.msc
Click OK.
Right click on your printer, click "Uninstall".
Put your printer CD in, and install the software.
Reconnect printer to the computer, when the installation program will ask you to do so.

Thanks for the tips here, helped me solve my high CPU usage problem.

First disabled LPT1 to see if the problem was similar, then removed some printer drivers (only one local printer several remote printers) and turned back on LPT1.

CPU usage back to normal.

(just registered here to say thank you)
