@JG3830, Welcome to HP Support Community!

Update the printer firmware

Download available firmware updates from the HP website

With the printer on and connected to the computer, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, identify your printer and then look for updates. Download and install any available firmware updates. For more detailed steps, go to Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware.

Additionally, follow the troubleshooting steps on this document HP Printers - Slow Printing (Windows)
