If the pure file conversion from PS to PDF (not printing) takes 2 hours (in evince "Print to file", format PDF, or ps2pdf on the command line) then there is a problem with the file converter in use concerning the conversion process or the PS file is extremely awkward (in this latter case direct printing on a native PostScript printer can also take long time or even fail).

What needs to be tested is what step actually takes too long time. So please do a printing/converting operation which takes too long and while it is running, run the "top" command in a terminal window. Which process is at the top of the list?
