I'm using OOo 2.3 under linux (debian) and a HP 8550GN Colour Laser Jet printer on a network.
If I print multiple copies of a document it takes forever because OOo seems to just re-send the same information n times. For example if I print twenty copies of a document it sends the first copy, the printer wakes up , warms up, gets ready then prints the first copy. Then OOo sends the next copy, we repeat the process and it can take half a day to print out say 100 single page copies. It may not be OOo as it seems to go pretty quickly through business of sending the stuff out to CUPS, at least judging by the printing message box that comes up. I've seen other applications spit out several pages one after the other. So how can i get OOo to effectively tell the printer "here's a document- print it 20 times" instead of "here's a document. OK you;'ve done that one? Right, here's another one not entirely unlike the one you've just done- take your time and do it very carefully." Yeah I know it's probably an issue with CUPS or some other inscrutable part of the printing system. But if some linux guru out there is able to print copies quickly on a printer I'd like to hear- what are the secrets?
