Google Chrome Kiosk Mode Printing Delay

Question

I am running google chrome (version 57) kiosk mode using the extension:

--kiosk-printing

since updating i have noticed a 1-2 minute delay from when then job is sent to the printer and it actually printing

Im using an ESPON TM-T88V receipt printer. when i dont print in chrome kiosk mode i dont get the delay.

i have swapped out printers and laptops but still get the delay.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? or knows why i am getting this delay?

This is a bug in Chrome https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=706180

Only fix so far is downgrading to version 56

I can confirm that this has been resolved on Chrome 58 (released April 25th).
