Try to find any service pack for the WP10. Problem do happen when folders is being shared & people is using & alot of them is printing the same DOC. Maybe u can save it in ur own hard drive or floppy & print it from there.

First of all you are sharing folders, any time there is sharing going on the reaction time will be slower. An upgrade will do nothing but slow it down even more than before the upgrade uses more memory. Either save to floppy and print or create a subfolder in explorer and copy to it then print from subfolder. That will speed ther process up some for you. If no tell the IS Manager to get a bigger server.

Ever think of putting the documents on the server and not sharing the computer? Would definitely speed up the PC.

You may have other programs running in the background making the printer slow down. Click on start, click run, type msconfig.exe, enter, go to start up tab and take check marks out of everthing except scanregistry, systray, loadpower profiles, virusprograms, printer server, and anything for sound, video and power management, leave check and click apply then reboot.
