Canon MP610 printing speed issues

When I press print, it takes around 5 to 6 minutes for the pc to send the document to the printer - then it prints fine and speedy - then another 5 to 6 minutes for the job to clear from the print list and so on an so forth with every print job on the list.
I've contacted canon and they tried to get me to change the USB cable (no joy), print from a different package (no joy) and to connect the printer to a different pc (tried my laptop (on Vista Home) and the printer worked fine)
Does anyone know of any conflicting software/driver that the canon would baulk at? The only things I've got installed are Zone Alarm and Avira Antivir ( just reformatted my new HD). I'm running XP (SP2)
Regards
Dave

Have usually found once the printer is spooled up, it doesn't make too much difference what else is going on on the PC that might potentially slow it down. I run 3 Canon printers on this PC and one Epson (not all at the same time of course) the only difference in speed is regulated by the print quality selected.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

The text and pics print at great speed, but it takes 5 or 6 minutes from pressing "print" to it getting to the printer. Likewise after to doc has printed it's taking the same length of time for the document just printed to clear from the print schedule.
I can't print another document until the last has cleared and then have to wait 5 or 6 minutes after THAT before the next print job begins.
I am using all the Canon drivers that came with the printer, so no problems there (or is there?)

And yes, Canon drivers should be the only one's you should use.
Just have this nagging feeling I've experienced this as well a long time ago. I'm just racking the grey matter to try and remember how it was resolved...I'll get back to you.

One thing that niggles me, and I don't know why, the printer is using port USB001 and i'm sure my last printer was on an actual port (if you know what i mean, not a USB port) I don't know if that would make a difference (I also wouldn't know how to change it either!!!)
Regards and thanks for your help so far

Have you checked the Canon website for updates? Oh, I see you have, have a dekko in the faq's, never found their helpdesk particularly helpful!!...when you could get through to it...well done!!
Still got this nag, seem to think the answer was dead simple and glaringly obvious. gonna sleep on it and hopefully wake up with the answer...I suppose you have sufficient RAM?

I know one problem I did have a while back, when using a USB printer (another Canon, I obviously quite like them) I was using a 3rd party USB hub. when I changed to a port as supplied with the PC things improved a lot. From then I've only used on-board ports i.e PCI cards rather than hubs.

The hub was a Belkin (powered) device. Should that make any difference. This was quite a long time ago, about the time USB was becoming popular. Quite possible the hub may have been faulty of course.
