wine users - Dec 2009 - Slow printing

Hi,

I successfully installed wine 1.1.33 and MS Word 2003 in my Slackware 13 
box. However, when I am printing it is really slow. For example, if I 
print 4 pages of text, the printer makes a 30 seconds pause between 
pages. The printer dialog indicate that the WINEPS Printer using CUPS is 
used. I use CUPS in other non-wine application like openoffice at the 
printer does not make the pause.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Carlos Q.
