But once I go online, data transfer from the computer to the printer will take several minutes. This phenomenon seems not to depend on the size of the file to be printed. Pages are not printed...

I read in a lot of places that disabling the graphics hardware acceleration might be forbidden with Windows Vista. I also have a computer/graphics card like this: the slider/option in "Troubleshooting" is missing and it says changing this setting is forbidden by the driver.

My sister muted her speakers, which happen to be built onto the monitor, don't work. In the volume control it says no devices are installed for this purpose and its not the computer itself because the usb speakers still work on the computer. Any ideas what to do?
