Extremely slow printing with HP Officejet 5745

[embo2425]

Having an issue with extremely slow printing with HP Officejet 5745. Have tried everything I could think of to resolve it (reset, unplug/plug in again, reinstalling printer software on my computer, setting printing to draft setting, checking wifi connection, checking for printer updates, etc) and still not resolving the problem. Printer is wireless but my wifi is connected and working, so not sure what could be the problem. 

I'm working with MacOS Big Sur (version 11.2) and printer is a HP Officejet 5745. Any help?

Hi @embo2425,

I'd like to help!

 Add the AirPrint printer to the Mac printer queue

Confirm you are using AirPrint by adding the printer in System Preferences.

1. Click the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click Print & Scan or Printers & Scanners.

   Figure : Example of the Printers & Scanners window

   

2. Check if your printer name displays in the Printers list, and then do one of the following steps.

   • If your printer is listed, remove and re-add the printer to confirm it is set up for AirPrint. Click the printer name, click the minus sign  to delete the printer, click the plus sign , click Add Printer or Scanner, click the printer name and then continue to the next step.

   • If your printer is not listed, click the plus sign, click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer, and then continue to the next step.

   • If your printer is not listed in the Add Printer or Scanner window, go to the Frequently asked questions in this document to resolve connection issues, try to add the printer again, and then continue to the next step.

3. Confirm AirPrint or Secure AirPrint displays in the Use or Print Using menu, and then click Add.

   Figure : AirPrint displays in the Use menu

   

4. Open a document or photo, click File, and then click Print.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
