   Just to clarify - if this was the case, it would happen only once - at boot 
time. Right after the LPDSVC started. Afterwards there would be no other error 
messages, no matter how long the system stayed on.
   It was a nice try. :)  I had the same symptoms you do - about a 30 second 
delay from clicking the "print" button until the dialog appeared - and that was 
the reason in my case. Sorry I couldn't help.
