I've been having a problem recently where it's taking 7-10 seconds for the print dialog to appear in InDesign when I have my Versant 80 set as my default printer. If I choose another printer (another networked Xerox copier, a 7775) as my default it comes up after a second or so.
I also experience very slow scrolling performance in Word when the V80 is the default and it's very quick with the 7775 set as the default (I believe Word uses the printer driver to render the page as you're working, or something like that?).
I'm pretty sure this wasn't the case when it was first installed but I'm struggling to think what has changed in the meantime (I was away for 6 weeks and I'm pretty sure the problem appeared during that time). I work for a large company so any amount of IT things could have gone on in the background.
Anyone got any ideas? I was hopeful about a suggestion on another forum about disabling 2-way communication, and although this helps when going into print preferenced from the print dialog (which also took an age) it doesn't seem to affect the amount of time the print dialog takes to appear in the first place.
