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 | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Asus N43JF

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

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 | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Brittechnologies II

Slow reaction after clicking "Print" in any software problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 10:35 AM. |  |
