You are missing some important information...
What kind of PostScript printer is it and how is it attached to the computer?
If it is attached via the serial port, you are limited by the serial port
speed. At 9600 baud, that is a possible maximum of 960 characters a second.
Pretty damn slow. Changing to 38400 baud will improve that by a factor of 4.
