Service Pack 2 - printing

[bill]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

Since installing Service Pack 2, our connection to a
network printer has slowed down, to a point when
selecting the printer, it takes 30-45 seconds to
register, when before it was instant. Does anyone know if
this is a known problem, or what to do? The printer is a
Sharp ARC160 with a Fiery print controller.

I have narrowed it down to Service Pack 2, only because
the few people who haven't upgraded yet, have no problem.

Thanks
