printing very slow

we just went through printing a medium size set, lets say just under 100 drawings. revit is processing them very slowly, many of the users think its crashing but it is not, just painfully slow. is this an option or a hardware thing, possibly the local network speeds?

Are you plotting directly to the plotter, or to a file?
We plot our drawings to PDF's, then have a utility to select all of the PDF's and send them to the printer. Much faster this way.

yeah. we are plotting to pdf also. just as slow as if we send to plotter. one of the reasons i prefer the plotter for our deliverables is that our pdf software, blubeam, does not pick up on the opaque regions of boxes such as those of a text or tag box so the background blends into these objects.

We're using a full version of Acrobat, which creates a PDF printer. That is how we are producing the PDF's. We have not seen the issue you are describing. I just "printed" 105 full size pDF's and it took about 40 minutes. Not great, but acceptable.

Checked vector or raster setting in Print Setup dialogue box....?  I think vector processes faster.
