The DMP printers are just slow! :-) Especially if you print high 
resolution.  I know because I use one for similar purposes.  If the print 
head is moving all of the time, then it isn't the driver that is causing it 
to print slowly.  In general, 24 pin machines are faster than 9 pin 
machines and using 1/2 the maximum horizontal resolution is best if speed 
is important because all DMPs take two passes to print the maximum 
horizontal resolution.
