I had this happen once or twice quite some time ago. I think I removed and 
reloaded the printer software and that fixed the problem.

Another performance tuning tip for Windows XP - turn off the 'Indexing
Service' on each of your hard drives. In Windows Explorer, right click
on the drive and select Properties. Then un-check the box that says
'Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching'. I
think after that you may be asked by Windows whether to do this for
all folders & files underneath the root folder, in this case say
'yes'. This may take some time to process, but it's worth it.

If left on, which AFAIK is the default for Win XP, this indexing
service can kick in at odd times & start consuming CPU and accessing
your hard drives, slowing the machine down. In principle I think it
can do silly things like trying to index printer temporary spool files
while they're being used ...
