It isn't just you. I've transferred files to the wife's Mac to print them before now, because it's quicker than waiting for my Mint box to print them. Also, every so often I come across stuff that won't print at all from Linux, and I copy that, ditto. (Linux Mint 19, HP LJ2055dn) It was even worse in the days when I had a LJ5 - sometimes it took 10 or 15 minutes per page to render the output. My personal theory (for which I have exactly no evidence) is that something (WebKit, maybe?) generates *terrible* Postscript. BTW, Linux prints plain text just as quickly as anything else, which is a tiny data point for my theory.
