Long delay to display print dialog box

[Guest]

I am using Word 2003 on Windows XP SP2 and an HP Laserjet 4250PS printer.
When I select the Print command from the File menu, there's a very long delay
before the print dialog box appears. It can be up to a minute. Using the
Print button on the toolbar works fine. The delay doesn't seem to occur in
other Office 2003 programs, just Word. Thank you for any advice!

Is the printer on a network?

Yes it is. Other users connected to this same printer do not have the same
problem, however.

I deleted a disabled Dymo label printer and the problem went away.
