Slow printing of image files when using the ev.Graphics.DrawImage

[lubprog]

hi,
I am printing jpg files which are on a disk. The file name is selected
from a database and the file is located on the disk and then printed. I
am able to print the file but it takes a long time to do it(between
35-40 seconds). I am posting the code in the print event handler ,
please suggest how i can speed up the printing.btw i am printing to a
network printer.
string name =
parentWindow.lbImages.SelectedItems[numImages].ToString();
piccy = Image.FromFile(@"\\10.0.0.113\CShare\Copies\"+name );
this.AutoScrollMinSize = piccy.Size;
int width = (piccy.Width);
int height = (piccy.Height);
ev.Graphics.DrawImage(piccy,ev.Graphics.VisibleCli pBounds);
thank you
