Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I have an HP Photosmart Plus B210. Since I've had it, on the best print setting, printing to letter size in portrait mode, it has printed one line at a time. The other day, Windows 8.1 would not recognize printer and asked for a reinstall. I reinstalled using existing driver (recommended) and the printer started printing several lines at once with no reduction in quality. The printer was printing 1/2 inch at a time and shifted the paper about 19 or 20 times, much less than before.  A single photo printed at least 3 or 4 times faster. Well today, I was going through the menu and for the first time noticed an update option, which I did. Now the printer is back to printing one line at a time. I cannot find anything in settings to adjust this setting.  My question: How do I change settings on the printer to print multiple lines, increasing the speed of printing a photo.  Any suggestions you have, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
