           Summary: Printing as very very slow
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandriva RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging kde org
        ReportedBy: adam piggz co uk


Version:           0.1.0 rc2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
Compiler:          Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu

Im trying to print several photos from an album per page (as you would)

My photos are 2816x2112 from a 6mp camera.

Printing 5 pages of thumbnails causes a very long delay between printing and the final output.

Initially digikam is creating the pages, then when the job is transferred to the print server, top shows gs running at >90%.  Probably 30-60 minutes later the print will start, but with delays between pages.

Cups is 1.2

Printer is a HP desktop 5550 connected via usb using hpijs driver.

Print server machine has 512mb ram and 1ghz cpu

I think the problem also occurs when printing form the print server machine.

In comparison, gnome-photo-printer is almost instantanious, but it has no options for adjusting the print quality.

Cheers
