Photoshop slow on printing

[Abram Photos]

My latest update of Photoshop is very slow overall but when it comes to printing it takes forever.

It takes ages to bring up the print page, it takes another age to get to the final print screen.

I have a ssd drive a 5 core processor and a 6gb card and 32 ram mem so it should not be as slow as it is.

I have tried re-inatalling printer driver (Epson) and I have also tried re setting prefrences in photoshop. 

Is anyone else experincing these problems and has anyone solved them.

Many thanks

I experienced a similar issue a couple of years ago. There is a long discussion in the feedback forum:

In my case it was resolved when I switched my GPU from an AMD HD7970. Rolling back to an older AMD driver temporarily resolved the issue and switching to an NVidia GTX1080 permanently resolved it. I have not had an issue with the print dialogue since

I have the same problem  printing.  Takes forever.  I have an 8 core processor, 64Gb of memory, when I had a Video Card issue and a graphic processor that was not supported in the recent update to Photoshop, I purchased a new nVidia Quadro P2200 equipped with photoshop supported graphic processor.  When I attempt to print to my Canon Pro10 it takes forever for program to view/change printer settings and takes forever to start printing.  When I use other applications such as Microsoft products, the programs can view/change settings and files/photos/graphics sent to the printer quickly print.  I have seen other posts of this same print problem.
