Vista Business - extremely SLOW printing on network printer

Printing from my Vista Business laptop to Canon LBP5000 network printer in
any application takes 130 seconds to start when the Windows firewall is ON.
When I disable the firewall the same job prints instantly.

I have the newest Canon driver and all the Windows updates are current.

When I print the same job to the same network printer on my other laptop
running Win XPSP2, also with the Windows firewall enabled, the job prints
instantly.

This seems like a Vista firewall issue. Does anyone have a solution? Please
advise!

Re: Vista Business - extremely SLOW printing on network printer

From another post, I think Canon is performing some work through the
firewall. I forwarded the information to one of the Canon driver testers
but they were unaware of this issue.

Re: Vista Business - extremely SLOW printing on network printer

I rolled back the windows update KB935807 (& restarted) but the printer still
needs 130 seconds to start printing. I then turned the Vista firewall off
and it starts printing instantly (no endless spooling and waiting for printer
to respond!)...
