When I click on 'print', in Reader (any version) there is a 90 second delay before the print window appears! This seems to be because Reader 'polls' all the printers in my list, before showing the window.

I can make the problem disappear by deleting the printers which are not connected at the time - but then, I have to re-install those printers each time I re-connect them, and want to use them.

Is there any way to set Reader so that it only 'polls' printers when they are chosen via the dialog box - in the same way that other applications (such as MS Word) do? That way, you only get a delay if you try to send output to a printer that is currently disconnected.

(Sorry if this has been covered before - I couldn't find a thread)
