Officejet 8630 takes too long to prepare the document before printing

[AliceWaterside]

My Officejet 8630 takes too long to actually prepare the document before it actually prints. It prints the document faster than it did to begin with. I changed the settings to reflect our old printer the Officejet 8600, so it prints PDF's much faster. The question I have, is why is it taking so long to prepare the printer before actually printing the document? I unplugged it, restored factory defaults, I cleaned the printhead, aligned the printead, and even cailbrating the printhead and it still seems to calibrate the printhead every time it prints, and even between pages. I need this fixed ASAP....
