"Suddenly" at work, it takes my PC "forever" to come up with the print menu after selecting "print". What used to take a second or 2 is now 30s to a minute. This was after my adobe .pdf writer / reader were upgraded to V7 / V9 respectively.
A google search shows the problem has happened to others, but it seems there are no clear solutions.
The following short thread verbiage was cut from Tom's hardware and seems to adress the exact same symptoms I'm having.
The problem is that "Stiffy's" solution at the end is vague and I don't know where to begin to fix the issue or give IT some help to solve the issue (they tried reinstalling Adobe, etc but no dice).
Please help... Primarily, it looks like I have to get rid of destination folders but IT told me that's just part of working on a network. Can anyone help? This print issue is driving me insane. So far, .pdfs and Filemaker Pro both show this slow to print menu issue.
NOTE THAT ONCE THE DOC IS AT THE PRINTER, IT SEEMS TO PRINT IN NORMAL TIME.

My send to menu is extremely slow and can take up to 30secs to load, while at the same time managing to slow down the rest of my system to a great extent.
I have no idea what could have caused this problem, and everything else runs very smoothly.
I have only these items on send to menu -
compressed folder
desktop
mail recipient
my documents
floppy A
local disk C
dvd-drive D
local disk E
I cant see how any of these could cause a problem, I do have an image drive by Alcohol 120%, labeled G, but it has been there a long time and this problem is only recent.
If anybody has an idea what could have caused this and how to fix it, I would appreciate it.

Sorry I don't have an exact answer for you, but I know I've seen this porblem on systems with alot of bloatware running. have you tried some general system clean up such as:
All Programs->Accessories->system Tools->Disk Clean up
Setting the performance option for best performance, Control Panel->System Properties->Advanced Tab
I would also run a program called AdAware (I think) it scans your drive and removes AdWare.
Also, how much RAM do you have installed?

I was able to remedy this by removing a network
destination folder - anything remote will cause this problem.
