Any way you can share your code or send put together some times in 80 versus 90? We've sent our code sample to Doug Hennig and Cathy Poutney (two people who should KNOW if we're doing something wrong) and neither has been able to provide a solution to speed up the printing. So, if you're doing something different, we'd sure appreciate knowing about it.

This is a huge stumbling block for us and I would really like to get past this, but we've tested this behavior on 5 different computers and two different printers. One of the printers was an HP4250n (35 pages per minute) and the computers were Thinkpad laptops (with docking stations) and a Dell desktop. The reports are not complicated and we tried to eliminate calculations that might slow things down.
