Well, in another (short) thread not really dealing with this, I found an option that never occurred to me, ie open AZW3 file (all bad with only 1/4 of a page showing, etc., never mind) and "print as" -> PDF, which did the job in an excellent way in "just" a couple of hours (while the "convert" tool seemed unable to proceed at an acceptable speed after 12 hours).
I think maybe Kovid should, after a bit of testing with several files, advertise that option somewhere, because just like some medications that are meant for a disease actually prove useful for another, this, meant as just a printing tool, happens to have solved that issue, and it may help a lot of people. I am quite hopeful it would also work for EPubs with fixed layout, and possibly even for AZW4 files.
Meanwhile, I am glad I found a way out...
