Hello! When I’m working on putting together a bunch of projects in one sitting, it would be cool to be able to hit a button that will estimate the print time so I can make changes if needed (away from my machine). The only way I know to see the print time is when I actually am about to push the magic button.
I might be in a different situation but I put together prints in Illustrator during my free time during the day then print them when I get home. Maybe this is too type A of me but thought I’d throw it out there so I can have everything ready to go to maximize my time on my machine! Thanks!
I find that this became less necessary for me as I progressed — I can make a decent guess as to how long something will take as I design it. I just got a bit of a feel for it over time.
You could just leave your machine on. It goes into low powered mode pretty quickly. The request seems like a reasonable one, but this is a decent work around while you wait.
Hopefully any kids you’re leaving home alone are old enough to not push the GF button!
And I don’t know what kind of cats you have, but mine couldn’t care less about a flashing GF button. Practically speaking, it’s only flashing when it’s ready to print. If you just want to calculate printing time, it should only be flashing for less than a minute.
Not working on the computer at a distance I have not encountered that issue.
