Printer locks up computer
I have an HP Deskjet 697C printer, and sometimes when I go to print my system slows down tremendously. Sometimes it's fine, others it's just really slow.
It seems to slow down the most when I print images that take a long time to print.
The computer is running Windows XP Pro with a 1.99GHz Celeron and 512MB RAM.
Has anybody ever had this happen or know what's causing this?

Im not sure whats wrong with it exactly but i suggest you go and cheque the manufacturers forum and i promis you that you will find a solution!
I actually found a solution from Microsoft via a Google search which said that this is a common problem with LPT printers. They said to fix this, use a USB printer.
