Is the file for the printer postscript? That is always bigger than the
pdf equivalent, even before you get to the fancy compression of images
that Gene mentions.

A printer with a slow processor can take many minutes to process large
volumes of postscript. I have a small HP 3-in-1 laserprinter, and it can
be slow. I don't remember how PCL5 compares to postscript for speed.

That may be "why", but the file format will elucidate "how", which is the
technically revealing bit.
