It's not the 57.6k limit. With a zip (I have one) the time will 
reduce to about 3-4 mintus at 300 dpi. The GS its speed is
the bottleneck. The same HP DeskWriter on my GS connects to my
fathers powerbook, which process the print faster than the
printer itself.

In other words: the GS is not fast enough to render all the
information to catch up with the printer.
