WinXP Speed Problem using shared network printer

Most of my shared printers on my network is attached to Win98Se computers.
If i install any of the network printers on any WinXP Sp2 computer, the respons from the printer and installation is so slow, even seems to freez and not respond, but wait long enough and the installation is complete.

Install by means of Install Network Printer, Browse For Printer, Choose PC, Choose Printer..

After I select the printer, my PC seems to freeze, but if I wait long enough will select that printer and finally will print.
I tried new and original drivers, and changing printer settings.
I have searched all over, but did not find any solution…
This is getting a big problem in my network!

Can someone please help?
Thanx
