Hi @XsianX,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand your HP DeskJet 2810e All-in-One Printer (or similar model) is printing slowly, here are some steps you can take to try and improve its performance:

 

Check Print Quality Settings:

  • Open the printer properties on your computer.
  • Go to the "Print Quality" or "Paper/Quality" tab.
  • Ensure it is set to "Normal" or "Draft" mode instead of "Best" or "High Quality," which can slow down printing.

Update Printer Drivers:

  • Visit the HP support website and download the latest drivers for your printer model.
  • Install the updated drivers and restart your computer.

Clear Print Queue:

  • Go to "Devices and Printers" in Windows.
  • Right-click on your printer and select "See what's printing."
  • Cancel any pending print jobs that might be causing delays.

Check for Firmware Updates: Update the firmware on an HP printer

  • Go to the HP support website to check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer.
  • Follow the instructions to update the firmware if needed.

Perform Printer Maintenance:

  • Run any built-in maintenance tools from the printer’s control panel or software.
  • This might include cleaning printheads or aligning the cartridges.

Check Connection:

  • If you're using a wireless connection, ensure your printer has a strong signal from your router.
  • Consider switching to a USB connection if the wireless connection is unstable.

Reduce Print Data:

  • If you’re printing large files or high-resolution images, try reducing the file size or resolution.

Restart Devices:

  • Restart your printer and computer to clear any temporary issues affecting performance.

Check for Paper Jams or Obstructions:

  • Inspect the printer for any paper jams or obstructions that could be affecting print speed.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
