long delay before printing

[Guest]

i'm using xp home edition sp2 and an epson photo R800. The problem is, when
I print a document or photo, I sometimes have to wait upto a couple of hours
for it to print. I have changed the print priority to 99 but still the same.
I have re-installed the drivers and checked all the settings and i can't see
anything thats different as it used to print immediatly. I have tried
changing to print immediatly after first page/after last page and everything
else i can think of. I also have another PC on my w/less network sharing this
printer but this has the same delay,please help!

These articles may help. I'd also check for Spyware which seems to be the
most common cause of messing up things that used to work. See this page:

Then if it's still not working, go through these articles.
