Obviously that doesn't include the time of converting to pdf which is
negligible.
That is very interesting and suggests that there really is a problem in
the way OOo produces its postcript
I just did a rough test, printing 5 copies of one document. There was no
appreciable difference between printing directly from a PDF copy (using
Adobe acrobat) and printing from an odt file and the printout was about
or equal to maximum printer speed.
I usually use the postscript drivers for both the local HP printer and
large professional Xerox printers and have never noticed printing being
to be particularly slow on either, or slower than HP printing. Sometimes
it is slow, mostly not.
So whatever this problem is, it doesn’t effect all printers. Note that
all printers here at work are on a network. Might that make a
difference? I don’t have postscript on my home printer so can’t test there.
Or does OOo perhaps use particular libraries, such as those that come
with Ghostscript, if it finds them?
