Dot matrix printer problem

Hi to all,
I have a problem on a old Star LC20 dot matrix printer.
I used it with an old pc with Windows XP Pro (Pentium III) and all was
ok.
Now I have attached the printer to a new PC.
Printing form excel, word, notepad and so on is now extremely slow.
The printer prints a line, then stop for 20 seconds then another line
then 20 seconds stop and so on. From dos prompt is ok.
The new Pc has the same S.O. same drivers same setting of the old PC.
Anyone can help?

Thanks
.
