my printer takes a long time to start printing.

If you let us know what you have hooked up to it then we may be able to say what is causing it. Did you try turning the printer off and back on? Try printing from several sources?
If it's connected to a router, that is very likely the cause, every home router I tried with a printer port was very slow.

Well, A slow network printer can become a handicap to the entire office. There are a variety of methods that you can use to boost network-printing speeds. Some of these methods involve hardware upgrades and changes. Other methods involve software solutions such as setting the way that documents are spooled and handling the priority each print job receives. When you’re faced with long lines of users at the printer, consider your office situation and implement the solution that fits your environment.
