Slow color printing

[Kathryn1965]

Just recently my Office Jet Pro 8710 started taking a long time to print a color page.  I have tried everything I can think of.  I have checked for updates, tried to work through the HP Smart app , etc.  Nothing is giving me any help.  I also tried to ask a Chat question and since my printer is not under warranty it tells me it can't help me.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I hate to buy a new printer since I have several ink cartridges for this one but so far that seems like what I may have to do. 

My computer operating system is MacOS Monterey.  It's possible that HP has not done an update to work with this operating system.

@Kathryn1965, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I understand the printer takes more time to print a color page. To assist you better, how about printing a black and white document?

• Which application are you trying to print from?
• Have you tried printing different types of documents like PDF, Word, or Webpages and check if the issue persists?

Try making a standalone color copy from the flatbed glass and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

In the print settings, if the print quality is set to Best, the printer will take more time to print when compared to Draft or Normal mode.
