Printer is slow in starting print tasks and also in printing many pages.

[DutchboB]

Printer doesn't respond quickly eventhough we have state of the art internet. Printing of big files is also a very slow proces. What can we do to speed things up?

Hi the Fossette!

your suggestion to look to http://hp.care/2oPHRsg is no good, I think, because everything works fine except printing. 

In my case symptoms don't include:

• Windows stops responding to mouse and keyboard input.
• Nothing moves on the computer display.
• Mouse cursor in constant busy mode.

Your questions:

• When was the last time the printer was working fine? >> A few months ago.
• Have you made any software or hardware changes on the computer? >> No hardware changes; no major software changes just before the printing went slow.
• Have you performed any troubleshooting steps before posting? >> I tried the HP print and scan doctor.

Best regards,

boB
