Have you run the chron programs lately to take care of the  
housecleaning? Check out Onyx via google.

Many times, a slowdown is the result of cache files being too full.  
That is another area for concern.

Do you have a hub connected between the Mac and the printer?  
Sometimes, a hub can cause slowdowns, too.

Check your settings under the printer preferences. Maybe you have  
something active that is slowing down your printing functions.
