maybe you are in safe mode? what version of windows? what printer? Start/Settings/Control Panel/System. check device manager, are there any yellow bangs or question marks? especially video? do the problems go away if you uninstall the printer?

If it is an HP printer, disable scanning .dll files in your antivirus... HP printers read DLL's nonstop when printing and anti-v will scan MANY times when printing even a 5 line txt. document.
