I Need the Printer to completely spool the document before starting to print

[WindHawk]

I love my OfficeJet Pro 8620.........unless I have to print long documents.

I often print documents that are over 100 pages in length. Even when I have the document downloaded and on my hard drive, it takes the printer several MINUTES to print ONE PAGE! That is CRAZY! How can I get the printer to spool the entire document first, then begin printing it QUICKLY?

Right now, I am STILL waiting for a 104 page doc to print - and have been waiting for nearly 3 hours!!!!!! This is unacceptable!

Why is it doing this? How can I change it?

Thanks!

Can you answer a few questions, operating system, connection method to printer and what is the load on the CPU & hard drive?

I have a laptop running Windows 10. I connect to the Internet via WiFi, as does the printer.

There should be very minimal load on CPU & hard drive. The print job is all that is running.

Call up Task Manager when this problem happens and take a look at the CPU/HD & Wifi usage.

There is only 128 MB of memory in the 8620.

Have you tried reinstalling the printer software?

I'll check the Task Manager next time, as well as reinstall the HP software.

Thanks for your time/help!
