Photoshop hangs while printing

[raistlin198]

I have a client who uses Photoshop CS. She submits a print job and Photoshop seems to hang while it's printing, the pointer turns to the hourglass and she is unable to do anything in photoshop. It stays like this for sometime, ussually until the job is at least halfway done, then it allows her to continue to work. I checked the task manager and it showed Photoshop was using from 70-90% of the processor during this period. The file is about 330MB and her machine is a 2.5GHz Processor with 760MB of RAM. However this problem is constant no matter what the file size. I searched Adobe KB with no relevent results. Any input regarding this problem would be appreciated.

Have you tried printing from another program? Does it do the same thing? Try saving the image as a .jpg and print it from another program, see what happens.

What about deleting the printer driver and starting over? I had to do that with an epson at my work, but it was not a printing problem, XP would not display the amount of ink still remaining in the cartridges. Are the cartridges full of ink?
