Word 2007 opens slowly in Windows 7

Hello Everyone
am using Windows 7 ultimate 64bit edition on a new Dell PC.
I got word 2007, and word performance is too slow, I relised that if i set my default printer to XPS document writer then word works very fast but as soon i set my network printer (Ricoh Alficio MP 7000) as default then Word goes terribly slow. and if i try to print something it just hangs up .

looks like surely its problem with network printers and Windows 7,
anyone had same issue or any help will be much appriciated.
Thanks.

have you confirm that the proper drivers are being used for the 64 bit OS and windows 7
Yes, I have this same issue. I have a printer connected to another computer in my home, and it is shared from that other computer.  I have not found a solution yet, but I'll be sure to share it if I do.

Excellent suggestion
I wish that would fix it for me! Disable IP V6 was one of the first things I turn off on a Win7 installation.
for me this really works, done same on Boss's laptop and that goes :-)

I can't imagine the performance of my PC now, everything that uses network just gone so fast.
