This sort of sounds like a memory problem. Knowing nothing, I would venture
that there may be a misunderstanding between your printer and your server
over how much memory is available on the printer (making most of this up.)
Also, what does top show during this long printing job?
Can you just dump a postscript job to this printer?
Or, can you first filter the job into a file, watching how long it takes,
and then just cat the file to the printer?
