Strange Windows XP: Windows explorer slows down to show mycomputer

For past one day whenever i open IE / Open Dialog box to open a file/save a file, explorer took almost 30secs to display folders. I could see "torch & folder animation :)", i never seen this before when i access local file.

After checking all the settings and playing around, i could figure out. There was a file sitting in my printer but printer had some problem with pooling. So i had to restart my system and printer, then everything works well.

Isn't it strange? i don't know what is the underlying logic behind printer issue affects viewing explorer.
