When I print 2 documents, it takes an average of 20 minutes for the second document to print. This is because the first document has a status of "printing" for an extended period of time. If I cancel the 1st document, the status is "deleting" for twenty minutes. When I stop print sppoler and then restart, it prints the first doc, and does not start the second one. I have used HP print doctor, and uninstalled/reinstalled printer with no avail.
Printer is connected to computer through wireless.
Printer only used by 1 computer.
I attached a photo showing first doc is "deleting" as of 10:54am and it is now 11:07 am. Second doc submitted at 10:57 has not tried to print.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you for joining HP Forums.}
I'll be glad to help you 🙂
As I understand there is a huge delay between each print and it prints extremely slow,
Don't worry as I have a few steps to help resolve your concern:
(Print speeds are slower than expected or do not meet the speeds noted in the printer specifications).
Step 1: Reset the printer
Resetting the printer can resolve some types of slow printing issues.
-
Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
-
Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
-
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
-
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
-
Wait at least 60 seconds.
-
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
