  Hello, 
  
  I have created an application wich is supposed to print out reservation tickets for cinema theatres.
  
  Everything works fine and crystal reports are printing correctly , my problem is the huge amount of time that crystal report takes to print ou a USB printer.
  The paper format is custom (7.9x11) wich is kinda small paper. I have used non-bolded fonts to accelerate the printing process but useless.
  
  In my code i use the Report.PrintToPrinter() method , wich i suspect is the cause of the lack of time.
  
  i use a .net class to fill my report dynamically, the report datasoure is an arraylist of that class.
  
  Anyidea about accelerating the printing process will be appreciated thank you.
  
  Here's a sample from the code
  
  Ticketarr = new Arraylist();
  TicketRepMod report = new TicketRepMod();
  TicketRep ticket ; // the class that will be used to fill the report
  
  //some for code to initialize ticket object.
      .
      .
      .
      .
  
  //printing
  
  tiecketarr.add(ticket);
  report.setDataSource(TicketArr);
  report.printoptions.printername = printername
  // a printer allready defined by the user at the application properties.
  
  report.PrintToPrinter(1,false,1,1);
  
  
  
  PS : the printer i use is a thermal printer
