The graphics it really seems to choke on are the .gif graphics, which are only about 15K each.
Could it be that latex2e somehow expands .gif files really big, but doesn't do that to .eps files?
I can shrink those .gif files if necessary, but I'd just like to make sure I'm shrinking the things causing the problem.
Steve,
I suspect that it's not the size but the format. Your printer driver has to translate everything into the version of HP's PCL (Page Control Language) used by that model. I get slow printing on my LaserJet 5 with 12M RAM with some graphic format.
If you have ImageMagick installed, use the 'convert' tool to change your .gif into .eps, then re-insert them in the book. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the difference in printing speed.
