Printing is slow

[mikew]

Printing is slow in any Access application that I have.



It takes 30 seconds from clicking print to seeing the print dialog box. Also, when I print multiple pages, it is slow for them to spool up. It used to be that the counter ran as fast as a gas pump. Now it says, "printing page 1, 2, 3 etc about one count per second.

This may have started after running microsoft updates, but I am not sure.

XP Pro and Access 2003.

Any ideas?

Thanks much,

Mike

Is the same thing happening with other applications, e.g. MS Word? If so, check to see if the Page File Usage is getting too high - my own experience is that if that gets too high, many applications slow down to a crawl. The only way to clear that page file is to reboot (as far as I know).

John,

It is in 3 different Access applications and is not a problem in Word or Excel

Thanks,
