Networking printing sloooooooow.

I'm not sure if this is a networking question or a general computing question, but this has to do with a printer that is shared off the network. It seems to do okay with office documents until you get to PDF files. These are slow beyond belief, taking a minute per page. This is totally unacceptable, especially when a document is a twenty page PDF. It ties up the printer completely until the PDF is done.

Does anyone have any suggestions on this? Thanks in advance for any advice.
 
What kind of PDF documents are these? Text pdfs? Do they have embedded images? I'd investigate how much RAM you have installed in that printer.

Oh, and it might be good to know what type of printer this is, whether you are printing using a PCL driver and which variant it is (PCL5, PCL5e, etc).
 
These are not pure text PDFs. So the file size would make you think that the server's doing fine, but it's the printer's memory that's the problem? I don't know how much RAM I have installed on it. Once it's done printing the PDF, I'll print out a status page.
 
Are you using a post script driver? Try using PCL, the output in most cases is identical and the pcl seems to roll them off a bit faster.
