Hello:

We use Report Builder (lastest version) to print aged listings of Accounts
Receivables for our clients at month end.
We are using Interbase with Delphi 7.

It now takes over 2 hours to print less than 3000 pages using an HP 4300
duplex printer. Note: to avoid confusion, this means less than 1500 sheets
of paper.

The printer is always 'waiting' for pages to be sent. We us the same printer
to print out mont end customer statements and it takes under an hour to
print 2000 individual pages.

Bottom line is that Report Builder cannot drive the printer to its maximum
output capacity.

Is there a faster software available?

Thank you.
