Thanks, Amergin. I've been printing all day, in several different programs and it is a consistent slow.

I just went to the Device Mgr. like you said and see no yellow flags anywhere.

One drawback to having the cableco for an ISP, no local contact and I am not impressed with what they offered the other day when email was down.

I've had my computer get slow before when loaded with too much, but it isn't slow, just when printing. I am zipping through everything else just fine.

Thanks, darlin...
