I have about the same problem, though not that slow. I didn't test yet due to migrating to MacOSX, but I have the suspicion that the reason could be that i've subsetted some of the fonts when I've exported to PDF. Also I wonder wether using a OpenTTF could be another reason.

AFAIK this depends on your PPD, i found some for my printer which include the copies option and some which don't. ciao, tom -- http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:TomK32 http://www.tomk32.de
