Last time I tried printing a 34 page pdf-doc from 10.1, it ate so much memory (almost a GB) and never gave back anything before the final page had printed. This was printing from Acrobat Reader 5 on my HP 970 Cxi. The time it spends might be from caching the pages, and if you don't have enough space like I and a fragmented drive, this can take (almost) forever.
Btw. Why haven't you upgraded to 10.1.5? Or Jaguar? I didn't try print much in Jaguar, but my impression is that it is much better than 10.1.x.
