On certain printers - notably on Epson dot-matrix printers - it is fastest to print in "text mode". If you use one of those, try the following: first produce some text file - let's say it is called output.txt - and then:
??? FileToStr("output.txt")
The difference can be quite great - for example, 1/2 minute instead of 2 minutes for one page.

If this works for you, take a look at my download #9991 (create reports to print in text mode).
