Deskjet F4140 stopping between lines and printing very slowly

[SANDFLIP]

I have a HP Deskjet F4140.  All of a sudden it is pausing between lines of print and then printing it, but it is taking a very long time to print a document.  I have removed the software from my computer, re-installed it, and tried to troubleshoot myself but  nothing is working.

Hi @SANDFLIP,

I'd like to help!

I understand you are facing slow printing issues.

To assist  better-

1) Does the copy print out the same way? 

2) What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or devices? 

While you respond to that, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware 

Try the steps in the document -HP printers - Slow printing 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
