re: Dire printing slowness Wednesday, May 27, 2009 at 9:59 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jacob6601 (2160 messages posted) For printing, try installing the print driver locally on the vista macine. For general slowness, try Control panel --> System --> advanced --> performance and then choose "best performance". After applied, you may want to go in and re-check a few boxes under the "custom" button. For example, I like "smooth fonts". Use Start --> run --> type "msconfig" and go to the start-up tab. Uncheck anything you do not use. Search using "speed up vista" for other tweaks that may apply to you -- turning off indexing comes to mind. Unfortunately though, my experience is that vista is terrible at basic file management (tying up your network drives), even within a stand alone pc. Luck.
