Slow Graphics Printing After SP2 Upgrade

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

Graphics printing now takes approximately 4 times as long
to spool than it did prior to performing the Service Pack
2 Upgrade. Text printing seems to perform at the same
speed as prior to the SP2 Upgrade.

Nothing else was changed on the computer, only the SP2
Upgrade. Once the job is spooled and sent to the printer,
printing time is normal but the spooling process has
slowed down greatly.

The delay is seen in Corel Draw, Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft
Word & Corel Word Perfect so it is not application
specific. The printer has been removed and reinstalled
with the latest drivers.

It happens regardless of which printer is selected for
output, and happens on network printers and the locally
connected printer.
