| Windows 7: Slow reaction after clicking "Print" in any software |

Slow reaction after clicking "Print" in any software I realised I have got this issue. Whenever I click print in any application, ( firefox, Powerpoint, Notepad etc) , my laptop would take quite awhile to react and enter the print options window.
I thought perhaps I may have disabled the print spooler service by accident, but it was on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated =D | My System Specs |

2. Add PRinter,Epson Tx110 series,fax,FX docuprint 205b,Microsoft XPS document writer.
3. Epson Tx110 and Fuji Xerox docuprint M205b .
Oh, I fogotten to add, during the lag period, the software will be "Not Responding" and after the lag, it will be fine. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Sony Vaio S 13 A OS Win 7 64bit CPU i7-3520m Memory 8GB Graphics Card Gt 640m LE Screen Resolution 1600x900 Mouse Logitech / Microsoft touch Mouse Hard Drives Samsung 830 Series Other Info Weight: 1.67 Kg |

thanks
interesting :$
You have 2 printers right? Disconnect all of your printers/fax(?) and hit print button again, if it reacts normally, plug in the printers one by one and do the same check.
ps: what do you mean by Add Printer, if you mean the print buttom, it's ok | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built PC OS Windows 7 Enterprise x64 no SP CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz 36°C Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Also try UNinstalling all printer software, rebooting, plug in ONE printer you want to use. See if windows will load a driver for you. IF not, install from the CD that came with the said printer. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built Desktop By DataTech OS Windows 7 Ultimate X64 SP1 CPU Intel i5-2550K, Differing ~4.4-4.8GHz No built in GPU Motherboard ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 Memory 16GB G.Skill Sniper 2133MHz 4x4GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 460 Sound Card Onboard Realtek 5-1 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung P2570HD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Old, beat-up Dell USB From 10 yrs Ago Mouse Gigabyte m6900 wired PSU Corsair HX650W Case Inwin Dragon Rider Cooling Hyper 212 EVO w/two Noctua fans, push-pull, @1300 RPM Hard Drives Crucial M4 128GB for OS, 750GB Seagate MomentusXT for data, 500GB Seagate Constellation for storage Internet Speed 8-19 Mbs down, 3-4 Mbs up Comcast Cable Antivirus Norton Internet Security Browser IE 9, Opera when needed Other Info 4 case fans, LG BluRay-RE, ASUS DVD-RW, Mr. Fusion power generator with flux capacitor, 1.21 gigawatts. |

Sorry, I'm out of ideas.
Are you trying to print large documents or pictures? They may be taking some time to fill the print spooler. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built Desktop By DataTech OS Windows 7 Ultimate X64 SP1 CPU Intel i5-2550K, Differing ~4.4-4.8GHz No built in GPU Motherboard ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 Memory 16GB G.Skill Sniper 2133MHz 4x4GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 460 Sound Card Onboard Realtek 5-1 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung P2570HD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Old, beat-up Dell USB From 10 yrs Ago Mouse Gigabyte m6900 wired PSU Corsair HX650W Case Inwin Dragon Rider Cooling Hyper 212 EVO w/two Noctua fans, push-pull, @1300 RPM Hard Drives Crucial M4 128GB for OS, 750GB Seagate MomentusXT for data, 500GB Seagate Constellation for storage Internet Speed 8-19 Mbs down, 3-4 Mbs up Comcast Cable Antivirus Norton Internet Security Browser IE 9, Opera when needed Other Info 4 case fans, LG BluRay-RE, ASUS DVD-RW, Mr. Fusion power generator with flux capacitor, 1.21 gigawatts. |
