Tough question to answer but lets start here!
Some things to check:
Does the printer work when not printing pictures e.g. can you print a word or text document?
Does the printer work when printing a single picture?
Is this a new problem or has it always existed?
Is there a print monitor software running in the background?
Are you printing from photoshop or some other software?
What do you know about the print drivers?

It sounds like your printer is having a problem with the ammount of information it has to deal with.
have a look in your printer settings and check under spooling that is should start printing immediatly.
if this is set try some of the other options.
I had a similar problem across serverl printers and this seemes to have sorted it out. Manic
