Chris,

It might be worth your looking at your printers Properties/Advanced 
settings. Here you can tell it whether to spool a file or print direct to 
the printer (slow), and whether to wait until the last page has been spooled 
or start printing immediately. You should have spool and print immediately 
checked.

You may be able to do other things on your computer before you can use PS 
again, because PS is only using part of your RAM (whatever you set in 
preferences), so while PS is doing its thing in its part of RAM, the other 
part is available for other programs to use with any spare capacity that the 
processor has.

After giving a print command, do you immediately regain use of photoshop?
This is not a facetious question---I am really curious to find out what is
going on. I am beginning to think that I have a turkey machine here.

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
