KDEmod very long time to open print dialog

Then I want to print something from a KDE application it takes a few minutes for the print dialog to open while I can't use the application I want to from because the window is blocked.
I have set cups of from systemsettings and the printer is a Dell 2135cn (network printer) using the dell 3100cn driver.
The print dialog come up almost at once in firefox (shiretoko) but the printed fonts is very ugly, which they are not from KDE applications.
Any idea how to fix this?

    Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.1?
    Is there any way to increase the performance.

    Ramsudhakar,
    There are several items that could cause these slow down problems. Without knowing more about the way your environment is setup, I could cause more problems, by giving out performance tips. You would need to be more specific in your post.
    What we know. BOXI3.1

    O/S
    App. Server

    I see that this post has been out here for some time. So if this is still a problem for you I'll try and help, if you provide more information.

    I suspect you may have a corrupt photo or image that is causing the sync to fail or quit. You might want to try removing all of your photos by deselecting them in iTunes then sync - and try adding them by each sub-folders until you are able to nail down which sub-folder of photos, that causes the sync to stop or gives you errors.

  • Why is it that Photoshop Elements takes a very long time to open a png file?

    Even though I wait for a very long time (minutes)  for Photoshop Elements 11 to open a PNG file, the computer's process monitor shows nothing discernible going on while I am waiting.
    This is on a Windows 7 machine with an Intel I7 4 core processor.

    I killed Firefox and Thunderbird and tried it again.  Using a stopwatch, it took 5 minutes 54 seconds to open the file.  In the interim the application windows were frozen.  The process monitor showed Photoshop not responding.  The thread analysis showed a thread waiting on splwow64.exe. 
    splwow64.exe allows 32-bit applications to connect with the 64-bit printer spooler service on x64 Windows builds.
    I should also point out that when I exit Photoshop, it does not seem to die.  I cannot restart it in the normal way.  The starter software just goes away when I click on PE 11.  I finally fo into the task monitor and kull the PhotoshopElements process.  Then I can restart Photoshop Elements.  Although after a long time since I exited PE while I was writing this post, I then just tried opening PE the normal way and it worked.  Many of these items I mention are probably red herrings.

  • Finder Takes Very Long Time to Open Folders?

    I have really yet to understand why Apple changed things, but it seems that when a third party application opens a dialog box to pick a file, it is making a call to the Apple Finder.  Since Mavericks, however, this process takes an inordinately long time.  The "deeper" the directory the longer Finder takes to display.  In some cases, I have waited over a minute for the Finder to open the dialog just so I can select a file to edit or modify in Word or Photoshop, for instance.
    This was NOT the case on any previous OSX version, so it is a MAVERICKS issue only.
    Has anyone experienced this, and has anyone found a solution, other than reformatting and blowing out your folders to a flatter configuration? 
    I have switched to Path Finder 6.5 (best file browser out there!!!)  to handle all other file browsing needs, but there is no way to make Path Finder the default for ALL apps that open the dialog it seems.
    Finder remains one of the worst applications that Apple has, and in fact, I'm pretty digusted with the quality of product coming out of Apple recently.  For an application that is used a LOT, they've crippled it and make it worse than it ever has been, which is pretty hard to do!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Songs take a very long time to open

    Hello,
    For some reason, songs that I've created that used to open very quickly in Logic Express now take significantly longer (almost 3 minutes to open one song). This only occurs with previously saved songs. The behaviour is always the same:
    - I click File -> Open Recent -> song
    - Garageband drumkits are loaded; the status bar stalls at the very end of loading the last kit used for nearly a minute.
    - The Arrange window opens, but it is not the active window; clicking inside does not make it active.
    - The spinning beach ball appears for almost 2 minutes. When it goes away the song appears to have loaded fine; playback and program functionality appear normal.
    During the loading period, the Activity Monitor shows a lot of CPU and RAM usage, and one massive Disk Activity spike.
    I've just recently installed some demo plug-ins (all universal). Could these be causing it? Or is this a normal load time for LE when you have multiple plug-ins installed? I'm using LE version 7.2.1, but this issue started occurring quite a while after updating so I don't think the update caused it. Has anyone encountered anything like this before?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    MacBook Black | 2GB RAM | 80 GB   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Thanks for the suggestions Jorge. It seems it was a third-party plug after all. Through a process of elimination I figured out that songs containing more than one instance of this plug-in made the CPU jump to 104% (I didn't even know this was possible!) in the Activity Monitor at startup, and caused Logic to have a status of 'Not Responding' (Logic's status returns to normal after the song has loaded and resources are returned to normal levels). Since it only happens with this particular plug-in I can only assume it's not a Logic issue. Thanks again.

  • All files taking a very long time to open - PS CS3

    No matter the file size or the file location (network or local) it consistantly takes 30 seconds or longer to open in PS CS3. This problem is new, the past week or so. No hardware or software changes have occured that I'm aware of that would have kick started the problem.
    Others in the office that have similar system configurations and PS Performance settings and do not have this issue.
    Another side note,  I also have CS4 installed on this machine and the problem does not exist there
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Matt

    Have you tried installing a generic printer driver as default?
    This is a known bug and has been reported many times in the forum.
    The solution, weird as it sounds, is to make a generic printer driver your default printer.
    If you don't have one, download it here:

  • Mail sometimes takes a very, very long time to open messages

    This is similar to some other messages I've seen here, but I perhaps have some new observations.
    Often, but not always, Mail takes up to 120 seconds to open each message in my Inbox. This happens with messages that have already been downloaded from the server, and even with messages that have already been read previously. While opening a message, Mail is otherwise unresponsive and spinning the ol' beachball cursor.
    When this happens, the system.log on the Console displays these lines. Mail is process 4502 in this example.
    Jan 19 08:20:23: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
    Jan 19 08:20:23 Juliette /usr/sbin/spindump[4552]: process 4502 is being monitored
    Jan 19 08:20:28 Juliette kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
    Jan 19 08:20:28 Juliette kernel[0]:
    Jan 19 08:20:37: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
    Jan 19 08:20:37 Juliette kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
    Jan 19 08:20:37 Juliette kernel[0]:
    The last three lines are then repeated every 10 seconds until the message is finally displayed at which time spindump reports that it spindump is no longer monitoring process 4502 (or whatever number Mail happens to be). The time required to sort itself out is variable, from 30 to 120 seconds.
    I ran Verify on my disk and there were no errors of any kind. I have also checked and corrected permissions on the disk a couple of times.
    If I run Mail>Mailbox>Rebuild the problem is cleared up (for a while), but eventually returns. The problem is cleared up only on the Inbox on which I ran Rebuild. There may be a global rebuild somewhere, but I haven't found it.
    I have also noticed that after running Rebuild when the problem is occurring, a mailbox will contain one more unopened message than it did before Rebuild-ing, i.e. If there were no unopened messages, there will now be 1, or if there were 6 unopened messages, there will now be 7. And the new unopened message is at some seemingly random place in the message list. I can't say that this happens every time, but I have not seen it not happen.
    I'm not really qualified to make a diagnosis of this, but, nevertheless, I will venture a guess that my local mail database is somehow getting corrupted, or possibly is permanently corrupted, in some minor way. Assuming that might be true, is there a way to rebuild my entire mail database? It's fairly large, about 600 Mbytes.
    Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

    Update: I found out how to re-index my mail database (in the Mail Help, duh) and this may have fixed the problem. At least I haven't seen it since. I'll post a final report at the end of the day.

  • Illustrator CC is taking a very long time to open and save files.

    I am using a Mac with the Mavericks OS. Illustrator can take up to FIVE MINUTES to open or save a file. It is becoming a waste of time as I have to work on multiple projects a day. I read about "Adobe Drive" but have not found this option on the version of Illustrator that I have.
    Please help!

    Any update?
    I found this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5839180 but have been unable to locate Adobe Drive on my system.
    I have followed the above suggestions with no avail. I have only been opening files from my desktop. This issue is only with Illustrator, Photoshop works fine.
    I ran a script yesterday that opens up eps files and saves them as a png, and what normally takes around 30 seconds took almost 45 minutes. I need to solve this problem asap.
    Would uninstalling and reinstalling the CC suite be of any benifit?

  • Firefox takes a very long time to open and cannot connect to any website

    After updating to Firefox 3.6 and attempting to follow the link to update Flash player (the link was broken), Firefox began to work VERY slowly. I closed the browser and, when I tried to open it again, it took in excess of 30 minutes to open, which it finally did. However, while it was initially able to open some websites (google.com), it reached the point of being unable to open anything at all.

    You could try to disable this feature for now by toggling this pref on the <b>about:config</b> page:
