Slow printing in Word 2003   

Hi
I have a problem printing from Word 2003 on a Vista PC. If I send a print 
job from Word 2003 to a networked HP Colour LJ3505n printer, it justs spools 
the job.  If I minimise word and then maximise word it then prints.  I can do 
this after 10 seconds and then it will print, or wait 2 minutes and do this 
and it will print!!
Printing from Adobe, Outlook, Excel all print straight away, the problem is 
only printing from Word 2003.
I have removed the printer and driver, reinstalled but no joy.  Have tried 
this on another vista pc to the same networked printer, and this prints from 
Word 2003 straight away.  Both PC's have the same versions of software, 
service packs, etc.
Can anyone help?

Check the settings in the printer driver for spooling on both computers. see 
if they differ. Let us know.

Re: Slow printing in Word 2003   

Checked settings on both PC's and they are set to 'Spool print documents so 
program finishes faster' and then 'start printing immediatley'.

Tried 'print directly to printer' but still the same
