The background printing option enables you to work on other documents
while printing. When background printing is on, a copy of your document is
saved in the PrintMonitor Documents folder, a temporary folder in the
Systems folder on your hard disk. This copy is then sent to the printer.
Although background printing lets you regain control of your computer
sooner; the actual printing of the document is slower.
If you send several documents to the printer, a queue forms in the
PrintMonitor Documents folder. Documents print in the order received.

select the printer you are using, and turn on background printing.
