Canon LBP 3000 Print Delay

Hi guys I posted this in the printer section of this forum, maybe is a Vista problem? My problem is this. I have a Canon LBP 3000 laser printer and when I send a document to the printer it takes 4 minutes and 15 seconds to start printing. These are 1 page documents not large documents. I have downloaded and installed the updated driver from canon. When I send the same document to my Dell 926 printer or Epson Stylus 720 they print immediately. Is this a driver or Vista compatibility problem and how do I fix it? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Russ

    Is this the driver you have installed? If so, it should work properly without the delay.
     
    Failing that, you could try uninstalling the driver and then let Vista install its own generic driver. While it may not have many of the Canon "bells and whistles", it's worth a try to see what happens.

    Yes that's the driver I installed. I have tried uninstalling it and re installing it and that didn't work. Windows Vista didn't have a driver for this printer. Seems weird that it just takes so long to spool.... Thanks Russ

    Hi every one. RIKRUS has partly solved this problem for me. It seems to be a conflict problem between Dell, Vista and Norton Security 2007. Like RIKRS said if you turn off the firewall the printer works perfectly. Hope this helps others out Russ
