Glad you found the culprit. As for why, I can only guess that it is related to how you have the printer installed and designated within Windows. I have a number of seldom used printers (label printers, etc) attached to my computer. Most of these are only turned on when I need them. But they make no difference to my system. Is the new printer marked in Windows as the default printer? The installation may have set it that way, and that may be why it is slowing things down. Other than that, I have no clue. Lee
