Check the paper sizes. If the document has been formatted for "Legal" or "Letter", and your printer uses A4, each page has to be reprocessed to suit. This takes time. (The Acrobat Reader will tell you what the paper size is set to). It's not the fact that it's a "graphics" file that's not the problem ... it's the rescaling to a different size, and if it has to be done in "bands" because the printer memory is too small, it becomes very bad. :_|

You shouldn't need a PostScript cartridge or ROM ... I think memory is the first thing. (PS will also need more memory --- it's a language interpreter.)
