OS 10.4 - Saving or Printing = Spinning Beach Ball

For the past week my iMac G5 (1GB ram) has been experiencing long delays when saving files or attaching files. The beach ball comes up and spins for about a minute or so, and then the folder structure (Finder?) opens to ask where to save or attach.

I run Yasu regularly and it repairs permissions, but I was wondering if there's anything I can do to speed this up.

Looking at the pic in your avatar I'd have to say it is old age :black:.

But on the real what kind of printer? Maybe try reinstalling the printer (drivers, whatever). That may help.
