Printing fast on Windows 2000, slow on Windows XP

Printing is slow when printing to an ethernet print server but fast when
printing to a Windows 2000 server connected to those same ethernet print
servers.
One of them is a Netgear PS121 via USB, the other is a Dlink 301p+ using
parallel.
What I don't get is, what special feature of Windows 2000 is making these
printer servers fast on Windows 2000 but very slow when the machines connect
directly to the printer servers?

I have also tried Red Hat Enterprise and it is exactly as slow as printing
directly to the ethernet print servers.

What is the special thing about Windows 2000 that makes the printing so much
faster than Windows XP or Linux printing to the same devices?
