I have a couple of clients that have installed the patch from MS (MS03-026). After installing this patch, when they print it takes much longer for the job to be processed and reach the printer. All the printers are local to the machine. So far I have found nothing on the MS support sites about this. But I think I see a problem brewing.

i haven't heard of problems like this from the patch. but it's pretty new. if they were previously infected with the worm, keep in mind their systems could have been compromised (had backdoor programs placed on them) so i suppose it could be some activity from one of those...but maybe it's horses, not zebras. got plenty of free, defragged hard disk space?

Thanks, but that's not the issue here. The worm never enterd the system. Simply installed the patch. I now have three other people from around the country that have had the same problem
