You could always try another PDF viewer if you are talking about it opening slow.
If you are talking about it printing to a printer slow, get a new printer!
If you are talking about printing to a virtual PDF printer, try another one.

I'm going to feel dumb if that wasn't the case.

Commented Sep 9, 2009 at 18:53I also thought this was about printing already created PDFs, not printing TO PDF. May I suggest changing the title to "Creating PDFs" or "printing to PDFs". For "printing PDFs" tells just that - that you have a PDF and wish to print it.

The speed of PDFs can greatly depend on your printer and print driver. If this is an office printer, make sure they have the PostScript drivers available. You'll get far better quality as well as performance.
Additionally, you want to look at the memory on your printer and potentially add to it (if available).
I would start with your drivers though, as this is the cheapest option. Testing with different file sizes can help determine if memory is something you need.
