Question: Is this a *wired* or *wireless* connection?  If *wireless*, how far 
is the printer from wireless access point? What is between the printer and 
wireless access point (walls [metal studs?, steel rebar, etc.]], metal 
cabinates, etc.).  There are many things that can slow a *wireless* connection 
down.  Or maybe you have a really busy network.  Or a very low end network 
switch.  (Or maybe you are using a hub?).
