Slow printing with Word 2007

Hi,

I'm in windows xp now . I'm facing a really tired problem. When i go to print documenst with word 2007 . It takes near about 4 minutes for the print dialog box to pop up and another 4-5 minutes for the document to actually start printing. The driver of printer in updated. Then what causing the problem? please help!

Is it the case with word 2007 only? have you try by other applications like notepad and excel etc ?

If it is the problem with word only. Then http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918793/en-us this can help. good luck
