I tried the printer with a gs(device=lj4dith and ljet4) created raw-file
on linux and win98. Interesting fact: it takes about 1min for 2pages
(around 4min for 8pages I have done) on both linux and win98.
But the printer manual (I know, they are lying) says something around
8pages/minute, this would be a factor 4, IMHO a bit to much.

For me it looks like the data produced by gs is hard to print, dunno
why.
I will try a complex document from WinWord and will check how long
it takes. If there is a big difference in printing time, I think
than it is a gs-`error'. I will also print the complex document
to a file and raw-print it from the linux side.
You will hear from me.
Best wishes and thanks for the help.
