Several minutes delay when printing on a network printer

A laser printer (HP 2200) is connected to a Win XP machine by USB cable. Another Win XP machine (in the same LAN) is trying to print on that printer. We are using Win2k server. It takes about 4 minutes to print the first page, but only the first one, after that everything works just fine. This happens only when the computers are turned on in the morning, so it is difficult to trace the problem after that first page is printed. It is possible that this is a Win2k problem (domain problem), but I´m not sure
We are using the appropriate drivers.

Also what you are printing affects the time too. large PDF files will take ages to spool, next time you print double click on the printer to look at the print list and see how many jobs are waiting to be printed (there may be a que) and see how big these files are, the progress will be shown to you also...
