brand new officejet 5255 1. slow printing; 2. unusual printing of italic text

[fredfrog2019]

This is a brand new HP Officejet 5255 printer.

1. Slow Printing

My first task for the officejet was to make 100 copies of a WORD document. It took well over an hour to complete. For troubleshooting purposes, I printed one copy of the same document on both the officejet and my other printer, a Canon TS8120. The Canon printer complete one page in 10 seconds. The Officejet to 62 seconds. 

2.Unusual printing of italic text

The Officejet used an unusual font for italic text. See the word "standing" at the top of the page. In addition to the italic text, notice that the first word of each line shows the first two letters each line in both the normal Calibri font specified in the WORD document and in what looks a bit like an italic font.

Might there be some configuration option that I need to change for this type of issue?

Here are images of the documents from each printer and showing the time it took to print.
