Opening Printing dialog box is very slow!

[Leonard Hoyt]

Opening Printing dialog box is very slow when printing from Outlook. The
print dialog box is about 20-40 sec. waiting for the Print Control Window to
open. Quick print works perfect, just the Control, Print that I wait on. It
is extremely frustrating, as Office stalls waiting for the Control window to
open so I can select printers, page ranges, options, etc.

XP pro, Outlook 2007 part of office pro suite, USB direct to printer, using
a brother laser printer, 4 gb Ram, Intel Core Duo (lots of horse power for
what I do) Norton Internet secuity 2010.

Has been suggested the Brother Print drivers may cause the problem, Brother
says I need to re-install Office.

I have re-installed the Brother printers & even changed the default
printers. I am hesitant to re-install Office for fear of loosing favourites &
tool bar settings, etc.
Regular De-frag & Cache files defragged.

ANY help is appreciated.

I'd try Office Diagnostics first. (Help menu) or a Repair install from
Add/Remove programs.
