large print files

[Clive Moore]

Can anyone tell me why my java applet takes a long time to print
documents on some peoples computers, (Win98). I am using java.awt.print
to print multipage tiff (max size 1mb)

AnnotatedPagePrintable app = new AnnotatedPagePrintable(p, true);
PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat pf = pj.defaultPage();
pj.setPrintable(app, pf);
pj.print();

Any help would be appeciated.
Thanks
Clive
