 As already mentioned, multiple paths to the same destination ( both it's own
 IP and a share, or multiple shares to the same printer, ESPECIALLY multiple
 shares via multiple machines ) will cause inordinately long delays while the
 *real* destination is located, and tested, as each will be tested in turn to
 determine routing, formatting, who has the "driver" etc. etc. etc.

 That's your most likely scenario as I understand it.
 The "wrong" driver would also cause this, or the same printer "installed"
 multiple times.

 Firstly, can you ping the printer ?
 What's the pong time ? ( windows has remarkably short time outs for
 things that should be longer, and remarkably long timeouts on things
 that can be shortened by orders of magnitude. )
