Print destination defaulting to graphics?

Dorico

Hi all,

at work we have a huge amount of network printers and all of them are included in my work laptop. So when I hit ctrl+5 to quickly churn out a PDF, I have to wait for communication with all the printers just because Printers are selected by default.

Is there a setting for this (I could not find one), or is there some other way to leave unnecessary printers out of the equation?

Dorico has to poll the printers at some point, so we currently choose to do so when you first enter Print mode after starting the application. I know itā€™s a pain if you only want to export graphics. Iā€™m not sure about the utility of adding an option to disable printing to a real printer, but thatā€™s the kind of thing we would need to do to avoid the delay.

Iā€™d like to add a vote for Print Mode to be able to be set to default to Graphics - personally I very rarely print to a printer from Dorico, itā€™s nearly always to PDF. I would imagine a lot of people would be in the same boat (itā€™s a big boat).
