I have tried cups from a 100meg link, that same machine booted windows prints very quickly, and I have tried wireless G through both a local cups server and networks cups server and the printing is slow.  I don't see how it can be a network issue.

To respond to the other poster:

I have tested windows printing with both the PCL driver and ths PS driver, both of them perform about the same (in windows).
