I think the last-used printer settings are saved within the file. For 
new files, or where the printer saved in the file isn't installed, I 
expect LO would use the default (PDF Creator in your case). If the 
last-used printer saved in the file is installed, but not currently 
reachable (from other posts, it looks like you're using networked 
printers?), there may be a delay while attempting to connect to that 
printer. I've seen this kind of delay with other software, not just LO, 
when an installed printer isn't available.

Depending how much you're going to be re-opening the file in between 
printing, it might be worth making sure it's saved with an 
always-available printer (e.g. PDF Creator) as the last-used printer:
- Open the file (may have to put up with the delay this once...)
- File > Print
- Select PDFCreator
- Click OK
- Cancel in PDFCreator (unless you want a PDF copy right now)
- Type a character and delete it again (so that the file is modified)
- Save the file
Next time you open the file or go to print it, the printer will be set 
to PDFCreator so avoids the delay. Of course, if you switch the printer 
on and print to it, the last-used printer will be set to that, so you 
might get the delay again next time if the printer is switched off - 
unless you either close the file without saving or do another dummy 
print to PDFCreator after printing it.

Mark.
