My printer prints a little section, then it pauses and starts again and pauses all through out the document. It used to print documents very quickly

Welcome to HP support community.

 

Make a copy and check if that prints fine?

 

Meanwhile:

Use HP Print and Scan Doctor to check connectivity

Download HP Print and Scan Doctor.

  1. Run HPPSdr.exe from the download location on your computer.

  2. Once HP Print and Scan Doctor opens, click Start, and then select your printer.

    • If your printer in not in the list, turn it off and on, and then click Retry.

    • If there is a connection problem, follow the instructions in HP Print and Scan Doctor.

  3. If a screen prompts you to turn on printer updates, click Yes.

  4. If a screen prompts you to make your printer the default printer, click Yes.

  5. Try to print.

HP Photosmart C410 series - all in one

My printer does print but it has gotten very slow. I used to print out a document in a couple of seconds. Now it takes for ever to print out one document.
