additional support for printing, not having to wait until after the full document has been processed to start another #5171
Description
Feature Request: I would like to be able to more quickly print from Sumatra successively without Sumatra warning it will cancel the previous job. I am a graduate student in a humanities degree and a technical writer/editor. Some of the documents I need to print are long, and I use physical copies to study (PhD) and edit (docs). You find different information and errors on print vs. online, and both are necessary to catch everything. In this way, I consider it an accessibility function.
This is only an issue for larger documents (~20+ pages).
It is frustrating to need to print from two different, long PDFs. I need to wait until the entire job finishes, which can be from 30 seconds or more than a minute. My dissertation, for instance, is 100+ pages single spaced. Manuals can be just as long. Readings can, too.
This is not an issue in other applications (homebrewed CMS, Libre Office, Google Chrome, TOR). Sumatra uses Windows' print dialogue to print. I DO NOT know if this is within your control or scope, but if it is, it would be nice.
The only real alternative is waiting, and it is frustrating to still need to babysit print jobs after 30 years of printing, most of which is caused by printers' lack of usability and support.
I am using:
- Windows 11 26200.7171 or Fedora 43
- Sumatra git commit 646d1fe
- BROTHER-L3300CDW (color laser) printer & scanner combo
Thank you.
