Print spooling (especially graphics) uses up resources and ties up the Mac (the cpu divides its time between spooling/printing/screen redraw/mouse control, etc.) until the job is finished. Try allocating more memory to the Desktop Print Monitor extension and the printer's icon (get info command) to speed things a bit. Unfortunately Print Spooler extension is fixed at 72k (9.1).
