I see similar behavior on a Samsung ML-1430.  The printer is physically
connected to my flatmate's Windows 2000 box.  When I print from my linux
box the printer behaves as you've described:  it prints a few pages,
pauses anywhere from a few seconds to nearly a minute, then prints a few
more.  I assumed it was a problem with the interaction between CUPS and
SAMBA, but maybe the problem is actually the driver?

Anyway:  I'm using the Samsung ML-1220, Foomatic + gdi driver, CUPS
version 1.1.19, and a Samsung ML-1430 printer.

The printer works fine when printing from the windows box to which it is
connected.  So it seems that something related to CUPS is probably the
culprit.
