My printer takes 5 minutes 19 seconds to copy a single page!!!!!

[ClaireChristine]

My printer takes 5 minutes 19 seconds to copy a single page.  I have unplugged it.  I have made sure it is not set to photo paper.  I have looked at all of the settings to ensure paper set to normal etc.  This has been an issue since I first bought it and set it up.  It scans correctly and prints no problem but I will often need to copy a page and this is most frustrating.  I unfortunately cannot say how long I have it but am wondering can anyone recommend a good printer which will copy, scan and print for home office use please.  My present printer is HP ENVY 4527.

Copy Problems

The underlying cause of the long copy times is perhaps an incorrect or unmatched paper type selection.

New Printer

When you decide to replace your older printer, consider that the new Envy models include many of the features -- -- and possibly some new ones -- that it did in 2016.

Read the descriptions of new printers carefully. 

Do not miss having a feature that is important to you.

Think before you downgrade to the DeskJet Printer series -- nice printers but these are different animals from the one you have now.  For example -- DeskJet printers lack a touchscreen printer control panel and include fewer features than the moderately scaled Envy series.

What?

Printers are expensive -- you get what you pay for.

A "lesser model" provides a less robust experience.
