On my imac I now get the dreaded beach ball if I print from any application for like 10 minutes. I only get it if I try and print or if I go to the preferences pane and try and open the print & fax pane.

I have already removed the printer and rebooted. This did nothing. I command clicked and choose to reset printers and this also did not make a difference. I went to go add a printer and holly 30+ minutes of spinning beach ball when I tried to add it.

I have checked disk permissions. There are some things that come up and don't seem to go away, even if I repair but nothing that seems to relate to printing.

I ran the hardware check off the disk and it came back OK.

I have seached online but can't find anything else to try.

Any thoughts?
