I suspect you have your default printer set to a network printer.
I’ll further bet that you use a netware printer (which are known to hang for long periods when the printer isn’t available, and sometimes even when it is).
Changing the default printer to a local printer or Distiller should fix it.
I had a user set his home printer as the default no change… Then he tried using Distiller still no better.
These are all independent installs (media & serials) some Faculty/Staff and some Students all experiencing the same strange behavior. We have installed the Faculty/Staff machines but students have done their own and both experience the same problem(not all but many).
We are strictly an MS & TCP/IP shop
Turn off Adobe Web-update, see if that helps.
that did not work either. I have turned off update, deleted all network printers, made my local the default, made sure scratch disks are alocated to the right local drive.
The question is what would photoshop be trying to access when attempting to open a file which is dependent upon the internet or network.
Because you put a file dependent on the network somewhere that Photoshop needs to read: a font, an ICC profile, a plugin, a preset, or something.
Photoshop doesn’t go off and read network files all by itself.
