After correcting the problem on my HP-i3 PC, I came back here to let play2mefish know that his suggestion helped me fix the problem. Then I saw your post which pointed to the same fix. The problem was corrected. Thanks.

After reading your post, I did more googling about the printer driver and found my old thread where I had fixed the same problem on my Beelink mini PC. I had completely forgotten about that incident ... blame it on my old age. That Beelink mini PC had intermittent problems so I replaced it...

Running Win11, 22H2, Build 22621.3155 on a HP-i3 1200 desktop PC which is connected to the router via ethernet cable. Default printer is a HP MFP-M225dn laser printer that is connected to the router via ethernet cable. On the first print attempt, there is a delay before the print dialog box...

Slow opening of print options popup solved. Per suggestion from a different website, I downloaded and installed the HP printer driver for the laser printer. I decided to install only the basic driver for the laser printer instead of the full featured software driver. Now the printer options...

Checked. Results are: Laptop: i7-6500U @ 2.5GH, 12 GB dual channel DDR4 ram. Mini PC: 11th gen Celeron N5105 @ 2GHz to 2.9GHz, 8GB dual channel DDR4 ram. But I don't think the CPU has anything to do with the slow opening of the print options popup. There's no processing to be done to...

Will check but I don't think the new 2023 mini PC could be 9 times slower than the 4 year old laptop to just open the printer options popup. There's no processing to be done. When asked to print it just has to open the printer options pop up. Something else must be wrong. I'm guessing that...

Just verified. The mini PC is connected via the 2.4 GHz band. The laptop is also connected via the 2.4 GHz band. The mini PC takes 9 seconds to open the printer options pop up. The laptop opens it in 1 second.

The mini PC is on the other side of the living room, about 10 feet away from the router. I just tried printing from my wifi laptop that's running Win10. The laptop is about where the mini PC running Win11 is. The printer options pops up within 1 second, like it happens on my wired tower PC...

I bought a Beelink mini PC that came with Win11 Pro. Win11 and installed programs are on a SSD. I have a self built tower PC thats running Win10 home. Win10 and installed programs are on a SSD. I have a HP MFP M225dn laser printer that is connected to my router via ethernet cable. So printing...

Windows has two desktop folders as follows: C:\Users\Public\Desktop C:\Users\UserName\Desktop The contents of the public desktop folder are always displayed first on the left side of the screen. The contents of the User's Desktop folder follows. I haven't figured out how Windows decides to...

I haven't given up on this thread. Trying some things, time permitting. I shall return. mck

Up to now, my PCs always had two internal drives. The C drive for windows and installed programs. The D drive for all of my data. (I will still be using my Win10 Tower PC with two drives for the bulk of my work.) However, I just bought a mini PC with Win11 and will, for the first time, only...
