Printing Issue

[greenphoenix]

Here's my situation: We are using Crystal Reports XI and VB6 to display and print the reports from our software. We were previously using Crystal Reports 7, so needless to say all of our code will be changing. I've been able to get printed output in our program from the report, but it is SLOW. It takes it almost no time to generate the pages, but when it comes time to print, it takes a good minute to generate the printout. Here's the code I'm using to print the report:

Private Sub rptPrintToPrinter()
'this will print the current report to the printer
crxReport.SetDialogParentWindow frmMDI.hwnd
crxReport.PrintOutEx
End Sub

I was wondering if there might be another way that's faster, or if this is just how Crystal Reports XI is.

I've already tested the printer I'm using (networked Lexmark T512) from other programs, and speed isn't an issue.

Thank you for any imput. :-)
