DeskJet 2652 very slow

[rcspencer1]

For some reason my 2652 will only print at the highest quality, which means it's printing VERY slowly.  I've updated the settings to print in draft mode, etc. but it just won't print anything quickly.  Connected via wifi on the "Standard TCP/IP port" and I have "Print in grayscale..." checked.  It often shows as "asleep" in the HP Smart app so I'm honestly not sure what's going on and could use some help.  Thanks

Hi @rcspencer1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

Your HP DeskJet 2652 forcing high‑quality mode and printing slowly is a classic case of driver or settings mismatch. Even though you’ve set draft mode, the printer isn’t honoring it, likely because of how the driver is binding to Windows via the “Standard TCP/IP port.” Let’s go step by step:

Reduce print quality to improve print speed (Windows)

Selecting certain paper types or printing in higher quality can slow print speeds. Print with plain paper in reduced quality for faster print speeds.

Search Windows for printers, and then click Printers & Scanners in the list of results.

Click your printer, and then click Manage > Printing preferences.

Click the Paper or Paper/Quality tab, and then make sure Plain Paper is selected in the Type or Paper type field.

Adjust the print quality.

HP inkjet and LaserJet printers: In the Print Quality field, make sure Draft or Normal is selected.

HP Laser printers: Click the Graphics tab, and then click Standard in the Quality field.

Click OK or Apply to confirm the changes.
