Hi,

    Hi,

    i have installed the RB 11.07 and the print is SLOW...
    the pc is a sempron cpu and the printer is a sansung ml-2010 shared in a
    network

    if i try to print normal document with word, notepad , ecc... the print is
    fast... only if i use
    RB on my software the print is SLOW
    (PS: RB + compiled with Delphi 2006 is fast)

    Alessandro,

    Does this occur with every printer and every machine you try it on? If you
    create a simple report (no data) and print, is the performance still slow?
    Try creating a simple application (form, button, and report) and try
    printing from there to see if you get the slow printing.

    Hi Nico,

    i have some problem with my customers...
    if i try to print a simple report (no DATABASE) is also very slow...
    if i try to export the report in PDF and then print with pdf is very fast...

    ????

    PS: when the preview is displaied is fast then when i press the button for
    printing...
    first message: "reading data..." ~ 10 sec !
    second message: "printing on \\blablabl\sansung...." ~ 80-150 sec.!!!

    Allesandro,

    You did not answer any of my questions :). Are you able to recreate this
    behavior on one of your machines? If so, does it occur on every printer you
    try to print to? Did you try creating a simple application? If you try
    running the included report demos, do those print slowly?

    no, on my pc seem fast...

    No, i have ~50 costumers and the problem is for 4 costumers

    No

    i have not tested this...

    --------------------------------------------------
    for the moment i have resolved the problem with the pdf export of rb.
    when the user print, first export the report in pdf files and then print
    the file directly, in this way is very fast.

    i have investigating why the report is slow... (only in same pc)

    sorry for the english

    Hi Alessandro,

    Since this is only happening on certain machines, the reason for the slow
    printing is most likely a data access or printer issue. If your end user is
    retrieving data from a network database or printing to a network printer,
    the network itself could be causing the problem.
