I have an RS report which grows each month and is currently around 4500 pages. When we attempt to print this the ActiveX control usually crashs before it finishes spooling and also the amount of data being spooled is ridiculous.
I now use a subscription to export to PDF which takes around two hours to render and save. Anyone elses experiences with this scenario would be welcome.

we have similar issues, but not on that scale - normally we can get about 10,000 pages out in about 20 minutes. - but we always render to pdf or excel.
i might suggest moving up to RS 2008 as it seems better on the rendering front
also how is your infrastructure set up - is RS on it's own box? check cpu usage on it

We have no plans to move to 2008. It isn't a problem with the server its pretty big and under utilised. It's more the client print control (ActiveX) in RS and that it sends TIF's to the print spooler which in our environment is on the end of a WAN link so you have two way traffic even if the printer is right next to you.
Might have to replicate on 2008 VM and see what Microsoft have fixed.
