Version: 0.1.0 rc2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs Compiler: Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-rc4.19mdk 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 PiggZ
Created attachment 18464 [details] patch to launch kjobviewer Hi, I have the same experience, I'm not sure if it is related to hp printers or not, but as it is in printing pdf -I believe there is another bug for that- we cannot understand what is happening when we click on finish, after the job has finished. I don't like telling my mom that i don't know what the system is doing, and running "ps" or "top" to understand it, so here is a patch that workarounds the problem by running kjobviewer (if enabled) to monitor the printer queue.
