Hi,
I have a network printer set up on one of our servers, the printer (HP Laserjet 5000) yesterday just started this problem. When ever any computer would print to it, it has about a 1-2 minute delay before it actually prints, and when it starts its still kind of slow. I check and reset the memory on the printer, all the cables are fine on it. The printer isn't giving me any kind of error. I have no idea how to fix it, any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

How is your print device setup? Start printing after first page is spooled, or, print after entire document is spooled? If the latter, that will take more time to process before the print job begins. In most cases, I use the former settings.
Just a possibility, I'm not sure this is what is causing your problem.

Hmmm...you may find it necessary to uninstall/reinstall the printer on the server. Everything else seems normal.
