Try printing to the screen and see how long it takes. That way you can narrow
it down to either a database issue or printer issue.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - My Printing takes too long
Hi All,
I am trying to print things from within Rbase 9.5.
>From the time I hit the return key, to the time I hear the printer printing is
>about 20 seconds....seems very slow.
Here is my code....
LBLPRINT scripts4x4 WHERE patnumbr = .vpnum AND prntflag = 'Y' AND +
PRINTER = 1 +
OPTION PRINTER +
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF +
|PRINTER_NAME \\zeus\pos3print
LBLPRINT scripts4x4 WHERE patnumbr = .vpnum AND prntflag = 'Y' AND +
PRINTER = 3 +
OPTION PRINTER +
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF +
|PRINTER_NAME \\zeus\pos3print
LBLPRINT controlled WHERE patnumbr = .vpnum AND prntflag = 'Y' AND +
PRINTER = 2 +
OPTION PRINTER +
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF +
|PRINTER_NAME \\zeus\scripts
Would it be any faster if I printed to a file and then copied the file to the
printer?
Printing test pages from the server or a work station is nearly instant.
