i'd use ghostscript to convert to pcl and then print the pcl file.  that 
will go much faster as you'll effectively have rip'ed it under linux and 
then the printer just has to put the toner on the page.  the printer will 
also be much faster if you can print it non-collated (250x page 1, 250x 
page 2, etc) and then manually collate.  or if you have the external 
collater, print 20 copies at once (or whatever the maximum capacity is for 
the collater).
