Um... acess hangs temporarily when my mouse hovers over 'Print' icon

[Sharky II]

Hi there

Strange problem, i'm using XP Pro and Access from Office 2003 (both real full versions from work) - and in general use, when the mouse hovers over the 'print' icon (at the top left, undernear file, edit, view, insert, near 'save', 'new', etc), then access will hang for about 20 seconds then snap back into action.

Now, i don't even want to print anything! But every now and again i accidentally hover over it and it's bugging the hell out of me. Everything is updated (but i will check again now).

Anyone know how to make this stop? I tried a quick search but didn't get far.

Cheers!

Do you have a default *local* printer defined?

my default is a network one i use when i'm at work (it's a laptop)

i changed it to a pdf995 printer and it doesn't hang any more

many thanks, this forum rocks!
