[OS X TeX] printing postscript

I've noticed that LaTeX-generated PDFs seem to print very slowly on my 
inkjet (Lexmark Z22).  I'm not sure whether the same is also true of 
other PDFs, as I don't print that often.

I have a PB 550MHz, and yet printing in OS X on this machine seems far 
slower than printing was on my old 233 iMac under OS 9. Anybody know why?

V. Vatsal: are you printing to a PostScript or an inkjet printer? If 
it's postscript, you may be able to use lpr from the command line.
