Starting last night, my printer (which use to run at a normal speed) has slowed down to about 1/4 of the speed it formerly to run at. Nothing changed with the location or software, so what else could be the problem and what can I do to troubleshoot/fix it?

I understand that you are facing an issue with your printer where it is running very slow, it that right?

Have you tried any troubleshooting steps on your own?

I've just had the same problem starting.

A batch of 10 pages started printing as if one at a time.

And then a 6 page PDF at 138kb took 3 minutes, again printing as if one page at a time.

I had already gopne through the Troubleshooting before coming onto the HP website and finding this post.
