is your default system printer a network printer? if so create a local one and set it to default.

did the ESC trick work?

you can still select it when you need it, but if you set local to be system default (even if you don’t have one hooked up, just create one in the control panel> printers group) the sluggish problems should go away. it’s a cs3 bug.
