This problem can be experienced in case the ‘Print Spooler’ service is not set to ‘Automatic’ or other programs and services delaying it in some cases.

• Click start, type ‘services.msc’ in the search field and press enter.
• Look for ‘Print Spooler’ in the list, right click it and choose properties.
• Change the startup type to ‘Automatic’ and click OK.
• Close the services window.

If the problem persists, disable startup programs that you do not need using ‘msconfig’ and update the printer drivers.
