Slow image printing with print server

We recently bought a print server box (D-Link DP-300U) which would
allow us to use our Canon i9100 (A3) USB printer as a network (ethernet)
printer.

I installed the box, plugged the printed and configured all the stuff
according to the printserver's manual.

It works. Documents sent through the server are printed properly.

However, while text documents prints at a seemingly normal speed,
big images prints sluggishly compared to a direct USB connection.
Instead of printing the image's lines continuously (as it used to do),
the printer waits about 10 (!) seconds between each line.

I checked that the prinserver is working in ethernet base 100, Windows'
spooler (printer properties window) sends the data quite quickly
(a whole page image is sent in 3-4 seconds, as usual).

Any ideas ?

Fabien.

Is the direct link USB 2.0.? The server seems to be USB 1.1...

"DP-300U is equipped with two IEEE1284 parallel ports and one USB version1.1
