HP Envy 4527
macOS 10.12 Sierra

Hello,

 

When printing from my Mac, every print pauses mid page - it prints the first part, waits a few seconds, then continues. If I send a few prints to it, this really slows down the printing.

 

I also have a Windows 10 PC which works fine - no pausing.

 

My Mac is up to date and I have installed the software from the HP web site.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks.

Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

 

As I understand the HP Envy 4527 pauses mid print, per page, on Mac but works fine on windows,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help you, although, to provide an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern: 

Did you attempt resetting the printing system in your MacOS?

Which software are you using while printing via Mac?

 

While you answer my queries, here's a few things you can do:

Resetting the printing system removes all printers and scanners from the printer's queue and clears all print jobs and print settings from the system, including printers and scanners that are not from HP. Resetting the printing system can be useful for troubleshooting printing problems, but you need to add all of your printers and scanners back to the list when you are finished. Resetting the printing system reset might resolve certain issues such as:

  • Print jobs that are stuck in the queue

  • An incomplete print driver installation

  • Communication issues between the printer and the Mac

Let me know how that pans out,

It's been a pleasure interacting with you and I hope you have a good day ahead.

Hi, 

 

Thanks for the tip - I have reset the printing system on my Mac and it appears to have resolved the problem, although so far I've only done one print. 

 

For now though, let's assume that it's fixed!

 

Thanks!!
