Printer printing very slow

@Lou8151, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

It can be frustrating when your printer is printing slowly. Here are a few steps you can try to improve the print speed of your HP printer:

Reset the Printer:

• Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord from the printer and the wall outlet.
• Wait for about 60 seconds.
• Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet and the printer, then turn it on.

Turn off Quiet Mode:

• Quiet Mode reduces noise but can also slow down printing. You can turn it off through the HP Smart app or HP Printer Assistant.

Adjust Print Quality:

• Lowering the print quality can speed up printing. Make sure "Draft" or "Normal" is selected in the print quality settings.

Check Paper Type:

• Ensure that "Plain Paper" is selected in the paper type settings.

Update Printer Drivers and Firmware:

• Make sure you have the latest drivers and firmware installed for your printer.

Print with Both Cartridges:

• If your printer supports printing with only one cartridge, using both can improve print speed.
