Printing is bringing my system to its knees.

Hi, l have not had anyone suggest a fix.
When I start a print job my system grinds to a virtual standstill.
Windows can't be moved, menu drop downs takes seconds to appear, etc.
Printing is bringing my system to its knees.

I had a similiar situation when I installed a Lexmark X63 all in one printer
on my older Dell pc. When i checked with Dell they told me that the printer
was actually to large for my pc. I needed more power/ram/hard drive etc.
etc. etc.
