My printing has slowed down to a couple of lines every 3-4
minutes. HP says to delete all temp files except those
that you must have. They refer you to Microsoft. but I
can't find out which temp files should be retained. I
know system.temp is one of them.

First reboot the system - then delete the entire contents of the
C:\Windows\TEMP folder - but not the folder itself

Then do a Search for all files named *.TMP - delete them all

Reboot again - go to Internet Properties, and use the Delete button on the
front page to delete the TIF, and check the 'Delete offline content' box,
click Apply, and wait - then reset the allocated space to around 40MB
