Printing problems with Vista

Printing with Vista seems to be an absolute PITA. Printing is done over
the network to printers attached to XP machines, there are 2 lasers and an
inkjet. We also use a virtual postscript printer for writing EPS files. In
all cases, programs like CorelDraw and Adobe reader will lock up for a
minute or two with a non responsive message befor they print. Printing
usualy takes 3-4 minutes with any driver. Latest Vista drivers are resident
on the Vista machine and certain files updated on the host computers.
Also, if I have other programs open with their windows open behind the
current active window, when I print it will randomly switch to another
window. It does this everytime with any program and any printer. Very
strange.

Hi Steve,

Are you running Microsoft One Care?

Have u tried directly mapping the printer through the add printer wizard?
