Print speed slower with nodialog

We have an unusual issue with printing speed with Adobe forms when printing with

the nodialog flag turned on.

Most of our user interfaces do a normal print preview to the screen and then the user

selects the print button to print to a destination printer.

We have one requirement where we turn off the dialog flags, set the copies to 2 or 3, and then

have it go to a local printer LOCL. When we print this way it takes roughly 10 seconds per

page. However, printing from the dialog takes roughly one second per page.

Maybe there is something glaring that someone can show me what we are doing wrong...

fp_outputparams-nodialog = 'X'.

fp_outputparams-device = 'PRINTER'.

fp_outputparams-connection = 'ADS'.

fp_outputparams-dest = 'LOCL'.

fp_outputparams-reqimm = 'X'.

fp_outputparams-dataset = 'PBFORM'.

fp_outputparams-lifetime = 8.

fp_outputparams-pdltype = 'PCL'.

fp_outputparams-xdcname = 'hppcl5e.xdc'.

fp_outputparams-arcmode = '1'.

fp_outputparams-preview = ' '.

Please let me know what we are doing wrong.. I would deeply appreciate it. We use this method to print invoices.

Sometimes 5000 at a time. At 10 seconds a page. Its brutal.

Hello,

are the files generated slowly or they are printed slowly?

Can you check the files in the spool? Are they appearing slowly?

Best regards,
