Envy 5644 taking LONG to print.. if it ever does..

[victoriah68]

HELP!  I am at my wits end with this printer.  I have an HP Envy 5644 and use my chromebook laptop to print from.  When I first set up the printer, everything was fine.  Now after a couple of months, when I go to print something, I'll get the normal notif that says "printing" and the progress bar fills up halfway.  That's it.  Sometimes it will take 20 minutes to finally print, sometimes over an hour.  When it finally does print, the words are either all jumbled on the paper or it looks like I'm running out of ink.  Both cartridges are full.  I have looked everywhere online and cannot find a solution.
