Same problem here.
I tried 2 different pictures with EOG.
Could it be related to this bug?

I successfully printed an image with GIMP. The transfer was much larger,
though (14MB), and it took very long...

OK, it seems that the GIMP-printed image was so large because the
printer driver was set to Adobe Postscript 2. I changed the GIMP
settings to HP LaserJet 1200 and now it is as fast as I know it from
Windows. I guess the problem is your default image viewer app?
