Very slow document printing.

Cups 1.4.4

When i try to print from my Okular (certain pages) {Example: PDFServlet.zo 
from Okular} to my XeroxPhaser 6120 printer I see the following error in the 
Cups error Log:

	E [13/Sep/2010:14:01:57 -0700] Bad request line "^V^C^A" from		
	localhost!

The printer status says:

I have had this problem since cups 1.4 came out. 1.3.13 printed fine with 
same PPD.Even after I cancel the job, the printer remains in the processing 
state. Have to power it off and on to clear. 

Have tried newer PPD from LinuxPrinting and original PPD from Xerox that was 
working.

Actually while sitting here typing this the page printed. It started at 2:01 
PM and printed at 2:24 PM.

Here's access log output: I canceled job after 14 minutes thinking it would 
never complete based on the past. (1.4.3 after 1 hour had never printed).


Cannot believe it takes 23 minutes to convert a file of 993K, printer has 
640MB of memory.

Can anyone tell me if they have seen a similar Problem?

Thanks
