Hi, This is my first time seeking assistance here, and I'd appreciate any suggestions on how I might diagnose my problem. Currently when we send a document to the printer (WiFi connection) it takes 30+ seconds to print one page. Previously, it only took a few seconds. Scanning and copying are quick as they always were. This is happening with two different laptops, so I'm assuming that it is some printer setting that got messed up. Where do I start looking? Thanks, dennis
