HELP! Printer problem

First off all, hy!
Now my problem:
I have Epson Stylus Color 640, and I am running WinME.
When I print anything, my system becomes slugish (like all the memory has been eaten) and remains that way until printing is complete.
Before I had WIN98 and did not have this problem.
What may be causing this problem?
Thanx in advance.

Thenx for the linkx00rs.
I've read on Epson Site, if printing becomes slow, turn off Status Monitor. I did that and it has a bit speeded up, but still is slow.
And by memory increasing, what do you mean?
Virtual memory, RAM memory?
Thanx.
