 In that case, I suspect you've got something going on like the networked
 machine has the driver, and is sending ( most direct to printer are plain
 old FTP, but M$ is proprietary ) a pre-formatted file in the printer language,
 which the destination machine is expecting to be a binary FTP, so it's 
 trying to translate it ( via the windows driver ) into printer language, and
 taking time to figure out that it's already done.

 I expect that if you remove the "printer" from the network computer, and
 reinstall it as a local printer on a "standard" TCP port, it'll work.
 If that's the way it already is, then remove it and reinstall it as a networked
 printer NOT on a local port.
