There are a few things you can do to resolve the issue: Use a PCL printer driver if you’re not already doing so If your file has a high word count, or more complex graphical data like line merge, transparency, and hatch patterns, your file will take longer to print. The more PostScript data your file has, the longer it will take to print. The printer converts these files into printed page content.ĭuring the conversion process, fonts and other printed elements are broken down into data points that represent arcs, curves, transparencies, etc.
Whenever you print a file, the Windows GDI process creates PostScript (PS) files that are sent to a physical printer.
Whenever you print certain PDFs to a physical printer, the documents don’t print correctly, or the printing process takes an unusually long time.
