Hi Wayne, This a little out of my area, but maybe it will spark an idea. Instead of loading the images that you want to print, one-at-a-time, into a canvas. You could load all of the images, at the same time, into a Repeater (or a list-based control). On creationComplete of the Repeater, add the child (Repeater) to the PrintJob.
If you are also embedding the images, this approach may consume a lot of CPU resources. But, I'm sure that you can find a balance here.
