CTRL P causes delay in displaying print dialog box
When I use CTRL P (keyboard shortcut) to print a Word 2003 doc (Windows XP),
there's a delay of about 20-30 seconds before the print dialog box appears. This doesn't happen in other Office 2003 programs. It happens in all types of Word docs and it happens if I change printers. Any ideas? -- Christine |

Has this just started recently? I have been noticing this myself (I don't
think the delay is quite that long, but it is appreciable) and blaming ZoneAlarm Pro (especially since I updated it). In your case, however, it might be a result of having a network printer set as the default and not having the printer driver installed locally. -- Suzanne S.

It did start recently, but my user who is having the problem can't pinpoint
exactly when it started happening or what change(s) on her workstation may have caused it. All of our agency's printers are network printers and none of my other 80 users have reported the problem, so I'll have to keep investigating. Thanks for your response. -- Christine "Suzanne S.
