[Geomoose-users] More WMS printing woes

[Bistrais, Bob]

OK, I remember I had this issue a couple years ago, and somebody (I forget who, but thank you again!) suggested consuming the WMS services through a mapfile, output as MapServer services.  The application uses these, at least for the printing.  I redirected some of my base services using this method, and it seems to work much better.

I might be remembering old versions, but I thought it was an option on the print service.

That makes sense- what’s the best way, if any, to reduce that?  Looking on print.php now for a clue.

My guess is printing is requesting a larger image size (to print at a higher DPI than displayed on the screen) and some of the WMS servers/layers can't deal with the larger size.

I am having selective problems getting a printable map when using WMS services.  It seems that some of my base layers, which are WMS, will time out when I try the print tool.  But not all of them.  The ones that do work seem to take a while for the print tool to work.  MapServer layers seem to work better.

The WMS supports the same projection as my application is in, and as mentioned, some layers of the service do work while others time out.  I’m trying to diagnose what is different about those layers, but does anyone have any suggestions on that?
