Don't go nuts :-)
The real size of your jpeg file does not have nothing to do with the size
it turns when you send it to the printer and then queued.
What you see in the printer queue is the result of the job processing
that depends to the printer driver in use, the complexity of the file
(text renders faster than images), selected quality setting (300 dpi goes
faster than 1200 dpi), and all that.
Try by reducing the output quality and if you can or test with another
driver (i.e., if you have a PS printer and currently using a PS driver,
try with PCL6, Poscript is very very sloooow in linux :-P). Also, check
if there is any PPD updated file available for your printer model.
