Slow Start Up with HP2520 Printer

Hi
A friend has just brought and installed a new HP 2520 printer. Since doing
so the Computer is now very very slow starting up.
I'm guessing something is now running in the background.
Does anyone know what it might be and if it can be disabled.
Thanks
Phil

Without details like the type of connection, computer type, and
operating system, we can only guess.

My guess is that you should disable booting from USB devices in the
BIOS.

Thanks for getting back to me. The information that has been given to me is
that the computer is a HP one and it is running Windows XP. the printer is
connected via USB.
He also gave me the wrong printer code it is in fact a HP 2570
Thanks for any help given

Please don't top-post, it makes responding to your messages more
difficult.

My guess remains the same: many computers will try to boot from USB,
particularly if there's some kind of storage media attached. Have the
friend first remove any camera cards from the printer. If that alone
doesn't speed up booting, turn off booting from USB in the computer
BIOS.
