What make and model of printer is it??
I have a Canon S830D. When I print using cups' native drivers, it prints very slowly. But when I print it via Turboprint, it prints around 3 times faster.
The printer is an HPLJ5.
It's not the printing that is slow. It's the generation of the postscript to send to the spooler. The postscript file is ~22MB in size and takes minutes to generate, evolution being totally unresponsive the whole time, not even redrawing its windows. The same thing happens if I print Generic Postscipt to a file. If I then run it through ps2ps it gets distilled down to 18k!!! The postscript file evolution is generating is over 1200 times the size it should be.
