Accessing Printer Properties Slow?

Sometimes when printing out a document in word, or any other program i want to change
the properties of the printer before i do so.
At the print dialogue box, I click on the properties button in the upper right hand
corner. At this point the system seems to hang. If i wait for a couple minutes,
the printer properties dialogue box will eventually appear. Same thing if I try
to access t he properties via "Printers and Faxes" on the control panel.
This is a network printer. I tried to reintall the printer, creating a new TCP/IP
port. When I choose "Standard TCP/IP port", enter the address, i receive a message
that the machine doesn't know what the attached device is. It gives me a list of
things to choose from, but none is the correct device. So, i reinstalled the driver
using the port that i already created. Still, the problem persists.
Any ideas on what is causing this? Has anyone here seen such a thing?
