I found that my setting included TCP/IP V6, however, disabling it did not
help, even after rebooting.
My printer was already set up as you suggested in item 2.
The problem appears to also exist for MS Word, and I haven't tried Excel.
How do I move a thread from Outlook 2007 to Office 2007?
Also, if I print a second email within seconds (less than 5) of the first
email, it may print much quicker.
