Hi Bernd
I have had the same problem at work, everybody here
has actually. Since we converted to system 10 printing
has gotten super slow on all our printers. We are
talking a half hour to print what 9 does in a couple
minutes. Simpler files are fine, but anything vaguely
complicated and 10 slows way down. At home printing to
various Epsons I also notice some slowing in 10. I am
guessing that all the particulars of printing just
haven't been sussed out with 10 yet.
