Slow Printing

[Michael Mantkowski]

Also check what you are actually printing.  We print invoices that allow
patient pictures to be included in the line items section associated with
the patient.  We store these pictures outside of the database and as
technology progresses the images that our users were creating got bigger and
bigger.  This caused a situation just like you described.  Had Omnis trying
to squash a 5 mb picture into a 1-inch square but all the data still needed
to be processed by Omnis and the printer drivers.

We solved this by using an image converter to load the original images into
Omnis at a much smaller resolution.

Hey John,

Check that the right printer drivers are installed locally. Under Windows
there is a network printer fallback that does not require installing local
drivers but results in very large printer files being generated and sent to
the printer, these take time to transfer.

Cheers,

Bas
