I upgraded my mom's macbook pro to a new model with Lion preinstalled and ever since I did that she's been getting the beach ball of death when she tries to print. I figured it was an incompatibility with the printer drivers and tried to upgrade but I don't think new drivers are available (it's an HP 5550n). I also tried switching to generic PS drivers but that didn't seem to help either. It seems to me that the computer is going onto the network and searching for a printer almost every time she hits print which is causing the beach ball to appear.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
