Printing long reports

  • We're having a problem with printing very long reports (200+ pages) from the Report Server.  In many cases, it is taking almost an hour to print such a report.  In some cases, the printers time out and only print the first 50 or so pages.  I know that the Report Server renders the report as an image.  Is there anything we can do to speed up the printing process?

  • No,

    But is this a case of the printers speed is too slow, Reporting services is not transferring data quickly enough to the printer?

    Once the page is rendered it is fed to the web browser. and printing is facilitated that way.

    As you stated, export the report to a .pdf and print using adobe. Perhaps this will be quicker.

  • The problem is the length of the reports - there are several that are over 200 pages and they need to be printed.  I think we're going to go with the .pdf solution.
