The 2600n is a host based printer, which seems to be part of the problem.

According to HP:

A host-based printer utilizes the host computer’s processing power to convert the software application’s page information into a raster format to be printed by the printer. Since newer computers process at much faster speeds than most printers processors, complex jobs could print faster when utilizing a host-based printer driver.

However, this seems, in my experience to be more unreliable than a traditional printer.
