Officejet 3830
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Officejet 3830 is printing extremely slowly; like five to ten minutes a page.  I went through the Virtual Agent and did every single one of the suggestions and none of them worked.  I unplugged it, I updated the drivers/firmware, changed the print quality, all of the suggestions it had.  I even tried removing the printer from my computer and re-adding it.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

@moonlightsonata, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I understand the printer is printing slow. To assist you better,

  • Which application are you trying to print from?
  • Have you tried printing different types of documents like PDF, Word, or Webpages and check if the issue persists?

Try making a standalone copy from the flatbed glass and check if that prints fine. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

 

Make sure you have tried the steps mentioned in this document - Slow printing

 

If the issue persists, we will have to perform a factory reset on the printer.

I have sent you a private message with a set of instructions to perform a reset. Kindly check the same, this might help you to resolve this issue. Check next to your profile name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.  

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
