Terminal Server Printing

We are having a problem with our Windows 2003 Terminal Server.
We have several applications, MS Office, Navision, Adobe and others available on this server.
Users are having to wait a long time for the Print Dialog box to show up on the screen after they click the Print button inside these applications.
It can range from 15-90 seconds. Mostly in the 60+ seconds.
Print Preview is snappy as expected.

All of the printers on the Terminal Server are IP Network Server printers.
We do not have any third party printing utilities.
From a processor utilization perspective, a 1 minute average is about 25% utilization during the times when users are printing and complaining.
Some of the printers are on the same network. Some are on the far side of a WAN connection. But the issue is the same for both local and WAN.

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot or resolve would be helpful

I know that this is not related with your problem, but since it can be and probably is a print spooler issue, please try the following.
