Another possibility is that the parallel port (this is a parallel port
printer, isn't it??) needs to be tuned. There's a utility for doing
that, but unfortunately I can't remember its name right now.

Ah. It's "tunelp". Check out "man tunelp"

My guess is you're printing at different resolutions from the two OSes or
somehow the settings are not identical. I have an Epson color inkjet
printer and in higher resolutions the printer slows down dramatically. I
get a higher-quality print, but the speed is almost so slow as to not be
worth the wait. This change has nothing to do with operating systems when I
switch between Fedora Core 1 GNU/Linux and OpenBSD. It has to do with the
settings with which I use the printer.
Once I lowered the resolution of the printer I found a better tradeoff of
speed and detail.
I suggest altering the settings in the printer setup panel for your printer
and see if that increases the speed of the printer.
