Default Slow printing a mail merge from publisher 2007

I am trying to print a duplex leaflet from publisher and add customer
addresses by mail merge. Everything is working ok but takes a very long time
to process and print. I have tried breaking down the mail database into
smaller chunks to cut down time and also made the publication smaller by
making pictures links rather than embeded images.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Is your printer driver current?
Are you using Windows XP?
You could create two separate publications, print the merge and manually turn
the flyer over, it may make the print go faster.

The print driver is current, printing to a brand new Konica Minolta printer
and using XP.
Have considered printing as 2 pages or printing duplex then overprinting the
mail merge but both are 'last resort' as would probably take as long overall
(and more of my time) as a single slow print.

Have you looked at the support documents at Konica Minolta web site?
http://printer.konicaminolta.com/sup...ase/index.html

Maybe mailing labels would be a solution.
