Massive speed issue when printing between version 11.5 of Words and version 10.2

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your inquiry.

It’s very unfortunate to hear that the printing speed has not improved with the new version of Aspose.Words. I’m very surprised as I just re-tested on my side and the printing speed was very fast with the new version of Aspose.Words.

Could you please try\clarify a few things which will hopefully get to the bottom of this.

  • Please try creating a new project from scratch and referencing Aspose.Words for .NET 11.7.0. Try printing a few simple documents and seeing how long that takes compared to old versions.
  • Try another printer and\or machine and see if the speed is better there?
  • Could you clarify what OS and printer you are using? Is it a local or network printer?

I am also interested to see the results of how printing speeds goes for Chad or other users with the new version of Aspose.Words.

Thanks,

Hi there. Version 11.8 seems to be back to a reasonable speed (still a lot slower that word but we can live with it). However the rendering is now broken (see my other post) so I will close this speed issue.

Thanks

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the additional information. Regarding the broken tables issue, I have answered you here in this post. Please follow that thread for further proceedings.

Hi Jon,

It’s great to hear printing speed it back up to normal again. The speed in which the documents are sent to the printer should have been increased in recent versions, this is what the original fix was for.

The total printing time is also made up of how long it takes to render the document to memory. This takes the most time as it’s a complex process, however we are always trying to improve rendering time.

Thanks,
