I have a PDF file which is 2.7MB. When opening it through the browser, and sending it to printing, it sends a 49.6MB document! This whole time, the browser lags, is very slow, and it takes around a whole minute to process this task!

OS: Windows 10 Browser: Firefox 108.0.1 (64b)

Please help me with this. Thank you.

I recommend printing complex PDFs from Acrobat. Firefox's PDF viewer (pdf.js) works by converting every page of the PDF to a large image (an HTML canvas containing an image), and that might be related to why it sends so much data to the printer.
