That's a really big print -- never done one that big so these are possibilities.
If it's 2.5 hrs of printing with the head moving at full speed, there's only
bi-directional vs uni-directional -- or lower resolution which I'd not likely recommend.
A couple of ideas if it's taking a lot of time to get going.
Convert to grayscale (not RGB), 8-bit file, rotate in PS so it's a giant tall image.
(printing landscape involves a rotate on the fly).
If you have an ICC that should be grayscale too. Print-Tool optimizes all grayscale.
A USB connection I think is the best.

Roy and Walker, thanks for the input. I I really don't mind the extra wait in spooling time, especially when I'm billing by the hour. It really isn't THAT long in the scheme of things, but I was billing by the print this weekend...I made a couple 44"x108" prints last month, and am making 6 more soon so I wanted to see how/if I could speed it up a bit. it was a good long while watching and managing the paper as it inched its way across the floor for 2 1/2 hours. I'll just buy a six pack and put the godfather saga on I guess.RB
