My HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus sometimes prints at once, sometime waits 5-20 mins before printing and sometimes not until I have deleted the print queue or switched off and on the printer. I have tried the HP ePrintCenter with no luck. I have a wireless home network.
What is the best way to get reliable printouts?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Trying to send you a file from the screenshot from my EWS! But how do I enclose a file? http://192.168.1.50/#hId-networkSumPage
Is this an address that will give you a copy of the page as I see it on my computer?
