Slow Printing pdf documents

[MickLead]

Printing any Adobe product especially pdfs is a frustratinly SLOW process, often up to 10 minutes after hitting the Print button! Printing has been markedly slower with High Sierra. I have downloaded the latest drivers. Any ideas on how to speed things up?

Welcome to HP Forums,

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

As I understand, 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

Do you have the same issue while making a photocopy?

Does this happen with all the documents or just PDF? 

Have you tried printing using a different (PC or phone)?

Let's try these steps to resolve the issue from the link: https://hp.care/2tFTZOL

Step 1: Reset the printer

Step 2: Check the print driver settings

Step 3: Uninstall the print driver

Step 4: Reinstall the print driver

Step 5: Update the printer firmware

Step 6: Check the network status (wired and wireless connections only)

Let me know how that pans out

I hope you have a good day ahead,

And Feel free to ask any other queries as well,

Considering, this forum has some of the best people in the world available and ready to help.

I have had this same problem for the last couple years and haven't found a solution that works yet. I unplugged for 60 seconds, plugged back in, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, and the problem persists. PDFs take FOREVER to print. This is incredibly frustrating when I'm printing docs for a meeting and it causes me to run late. On a side note, I have to print all copies in color, as when black and white is checked, the copies end up with lines going through them.
