printing job extremely slow

[romoletto]

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

Am using Ubuntu 8.04; NO dual boot; printing jobs via home network is very slow.
When clicking on Places>Network it detects my RETECASA, but when clicking on it I get an error message saying something cannot be mounted. Funny thing is, when created the home network everything went smooth and could also access other pc's on the network. From the session thereafter it's never been possible again. Printing has always worked, despite this anomaly and even been smoother, so can't understand now why all of a sudden it's become so slow (we're talking about 1/2 an hour for one page!!!). I guess the two things are realted, but dunno how to solve it.
Need somebody's help please. Thanks
Cheers

Claudio

Ubuntu 8.04 is no longer supported, please upgrade to a supported release (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or higher) and let us know if this is still a problem.
