The problem was the dotted-ness of the lines in the tables!

It turns out that the printer takes 5 minutes per page when the lines are
dotted. Printing takes only seconds when the lines are solid, no matter if
they're thin or thick.

Thanks!

Microsoft Office applications have a perverse way of generating
PostScript output. The lines in your tables, instead of being single
objects with a starting point, ending point, and stroke width, are each
composed of hundreds of short segments.
