There is a severe delay in my printing for 3 days. I have: unplugged and rebooted several times. I uninstalled and reinstalled printer. Disconnected for internet and reconnected. My printer is the default - what else can I do?

Hi @DJ1203,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
I understand you have severe printing delays on your OfficeJet Pro 9015e All-in-One Printer running Windows 11. Sorry to hear about the trouble. Let's try a few steps to try and resolve the issue.
1️. Check Printer Connection Type
- If you're connected via Wi-Fi:
- Make sure your printer and PC are both on the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network (this printer doesn't support 5 GHz).
- Place your printer closer to the router — avoid walls or interference.
- If you’re using USB, try switching to a different port or cable.
2️. Clear the Print Queue
Even if you restarted, stuck jobs can cause a slowdown:
- Open Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners
- Click on your Officejet Pro 9015e
- Click Open print queue
- If there are pending or stuck jobs, cancel them all
- Restart your PC and printer
3️. Restart the Print Spooler Service
This controls how print jobs are processed:
- Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter
- Find Print Spooler
- Right-click it → Stop
- Go to C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS
(You might need admin permission) - Delete all files inside
- Go back to Services, right-click Print Spooler, and Start
Then, test printing again.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
