My inkjet printer seems only to print very slowly with the high quality resolution whereas previously the pages used to come out very quickly, especially for text only printingand I cannot see how to change this in the settings.
Would appreciate some advice
Thanks

You are welcome.
I retired my Android phone a while back.
If I run across my notes for that device and printing, I'll post back.
