I have a Konica Minolta color Laser (Magicolor 2300DL) printer. When I used
XP there was no delay from the time I clicked print to the time the printer
fired up. Now it takes sometimes several minutes with Vista. Under the
printer icon it was downloading the images, but I would not think that it sh
ould take that long to start up the printer. Any others have this problem?

I have exactly the same problem with the same printer. Other computers
on the same network which are running XP access the printer immediately.
This problem started about one week ago, probably after downloading a
Vista 'improvement'.

Did you try System Restore to before last week?

Thanks Cari for suggesting that - I should have done that first before
posting. I restored to before the last Windows Update and it has not
solved the problem. I am running out the door for a two week trip and
will try going to an earlier restore point when I get back.
