77155 - Print with graphics cretes enormous spool files

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Chris Grant]

When printing this page http://www.battle.net/diablo2/items/cube.shtml using W2K
and a Lexmark Z52 printer, it creates an print spool file of 366M (not the M),
and ultimatly does not print. If you print the screen via IE 3.06M and print
it... well OK (without the background).

Been a while since I was at school however a 100 fold increase in size.....

Reporter what build id are you using?

This is probably due to the new ImageLib that landed.. the images used for 
printing are not scaled down.. like they used to be for printing or are for the 
screen.. this can lead to potentially very large print files depending on the 
site.

Setting status to NEW.  Adding qawanted keyword to decide whether this bug 
should be assigned to imagelib.

I think this is because imagelib will bring in an image at its native size for 
printing, which can be very large.  That would be the reason for this.  I think 
we might want a setting for this.. so we can set how big an image we use.  Is 
this possible?  I will give this to Pavlov to answer this question, if yes we 
can work on a UI to use this.  I think this would be important.

Is bug 90685 a dupe of this?
