I am using PCLOS, KDE desktop, HP LaserJet 2200dn, and I have the same 
problem with the HP machine.
I also have an Epson WP-4530 "do-everything" printer, and it does _not_ 
exhibit the problem, with the same
text. I have the option of several drivers for the HP, and I haven't 
actually tried different ones against the
problem, but it seems to me I always do see that performance.  If it 
becomes necessary to try all the
drivers, I will attempt that, but in my experience, not all the drivers 
provide acceptable performance.
At least one of them will cause the printer to wait a l-o-n-g time 
before printing--many many minutes!
Let me know if I must do this, or can you do it yourself?
