Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Printer is a Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw, purchased in 2019

 

My printer pauses in between each page, usually 15-20 seconds (yes, I timed with a stop watch).

Troubleshooting I have already tried:

Restarting the printer

Restarting the computer

Uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers

Uninstalling/reinstalling all HP printer software

Going into Printer Properties, and unselected "Auto" for the color setting, and selecting "Manual" instead.

 

I don't typically use it to print large documents, so I've been living with the issue for awhile.  

 

I am somewhat at a loss as to what to try next.  Any suggestions?

You say you have uninstalled and reinstalled. Check to confirm that you are for sure using an HP driver and not a Microsoft IPP driver or a WSD port. Find these settings on the driver for the printer by going to control panel >devices and printers and right click on the icon for your printer and then select printer properties from the drop down menu.  Click on port to confirm port type and advanced  to see driver type.
