Notes app printing is slow and lags on Apple M2 Pro

Notes app printing every slow responses


At each click, it lags 3 seconds or more. Choosing to print...lag, choosing how many pages....lag, Every click earns a lag. It works, but this is the only mac app that does this. Apple m2 pro. Tahoe 26.5.2

The current version of macOS is 26.6:

I cannot replicate that issue on my Macs (16" M4 Pro MBP, 16" M1 Pro MBP) running 26.6.


Quit the Notes app, then launch it again with the Shift key pressed. If the issue still occurs, then reboot your Mac and try again. If it still occurs, see if the problem is present when you boot in safe mode, which disables 3rd party extensions and performs some system cleanup.

Thank you for the assistance. Unfortunately, It didn't help. What I did discover was if I did the same things on a smaller list without check boxes, it went smoothly. I created a 5 page grocery list with the check circles. That one seems to overload the application even in safe mode. I may be asking the app to do more that was designed to do. Just my best guess on this.
