Kent,
Get the task manager when printing, performance tab, check the "show kernel time" in the menu, and get a look to the red graph. If it hits the roof, there is little thing you can do, as the windows core is eating all ressources just to handle the 16 bit commands.
With this, start /low will be of few uses
Compatibility mode may decrease the charge, but no garanties.
Maybe force the local spooler to get the full print before sending it to the printer (dunno if i'm understandable, get a look to the "Print Directly to Printer" option)
Also, if you're printing to a network printer, try this one : net use lpt1: \\servername\ printer_share /persistent:yes
Maybe it will help
