1690228 - Printing of 1 page of a big PDF takes multiple minutes, during printing nothing can be done in parallel

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1686494

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Marie Maurer]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:85.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/85.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have a PDF which is 3200 pages big.
I select 1 page e.g. 3115 and want to print this page on my local printer.

Actual results:

I see preview immideately -> ok
Printing itself takes multiple minutes, till it is finished -> not ok
During this time, I cannot do something in parallel in Firefox, even when open a new instance of Firefox -> optional, would be good if possible

Expected results:

Print page in a few seconds
If it takes so long, which could be real when printing complete document with 3200 pages, it would be nice, if you can at least browse some internet pages...

Marie, does Firefox Nightly fix the issue for you?

I just tested the nightly: 87.0a1 (2021-02-03) (64-Bit)
The nightly works! After a few seconds the page was printed.

Great! Thanks for testing that (and for taking the time to report the bug)!

That fix is in Firefox 86, which goes out the week of Feb 23rd.
