Hi @Matthew O'Malley ,
Sorry I have searched the Official Microsoft Documents, but I didn’t find anything related to speeding up the printing or converting process. And we could not find such options in Teams Admin Center or Teams Clients.
Personally I think it should be a designed behavior of the Print feature in Teams. The functions of Word and other Microsoft Business software like Excel and PowerPoint are not fully integrated in Teams, and for the integrated parts, they are some completed feature sets, we are not able to change the settings in it. Open a Word file in Teams client and you will see there is no Option or Setting button like the normal client do.
For now, as you know, the best way to avoid waiting a long time for Teams to convert documents to pdf is to open them with word online or desktop client for printing.
Best regards,
Lou
