Canon i9900 Print Spooling Problem

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

I recently bought a new Canon i9900 Printer and am having a problem when it
comes to printing a 2nd job. The first print job I send to the printer
starts printing immediately and works just fine. But if I immediately start
another Print job, it can take up to 4 minutes before it starts printing. I
can't figure out why it would take so long to start printing.

I've defragged, cleaned out temp files,but still the long delay. Canon so
far has not had any great suggestions, other than to suggest there must be a
problem with spoolsv.exe. However, before having this printer hooked up, I
had a Canon S300 hooked up with no problems like this.

Could the latest spooler vulnerability patch (8/11/05) have affected this in
any way?

Any thoughts?
I'm running XP Home SP2

Thanks,
Mark

I tried this, but it didn't work. I went to the Canon web site to make sure
I had the latest drivers.
