I have migrated a waybill printing program (fast printing for trucks leaving the scales is a requirement) from NT4.0 Access 97 to XP Access 2002. The printer is a LPT1 attached Epson FX980 and begins printing immediately from NT4.0 Access 97 using DoCmd.OpenReport.
Under XP it take 35 to 40 seconds to begin printing. The really weird thing is that XP prints immediately if I print from XP Word 2002, XP Excel 2002 or even XP Access 2002 by hitting the toolbar print button with a table open.
My guess is that under XP the DoCmd.OpenReport now has to render a postscript file... I've tried all the obvious stuff in the printer preferences with no luck... (even at low resolution there is a delay)
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks
