--- Comment #7 from Thomas Passin <[email protected]> --- This is the same bug as https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42673. It seems to come from the inability of Windows to know if a printer isn't available except by querying its status. This will incur a wait for a timeout if the printer isn't ready or able. If the LO program, e.g., Calc, tries to learn the printer parameters when opening a file, it has to wait for the timeout to elapse. A typical code sequence would be to query for the current printer. If there isn't one, then ask for the default printer. Then, having found the printer, ask for its status. I don't know if LO uses this approach or something else. This doesn't happen on my new Windows 11 computer. I'm not sure what changed, the Windows printer api, OpenGl, or what, but I don't get the behavior any more. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
