@PraveenreddyK Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

If your HP Smart Tank printer is experiencing significant delays (15 to 20 minutes) after initiating a print job, the following steps can help diagnose and resolve the issue:

1. Check Ink Levels and Fill Ink Tanks

Low ink levels can impact print quality and speed. Ensure all ink tanks are adequately filled with genuine HP ink.

1. On the control panel, touch the Ink icon.
2. Check the estimated ink levels.
3. Refill any tanks that are low on ink.

2. Check Print Settings

Ensure that print settings match your print job requirements.

• Select the correct paper type.
• Choose the appropriate print quality setting.
• Verify Paper Size.
• Adjust color or black and white settings if needed.

3. Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Page

Printing a diagnostic page can help identify any issues with the printer.

1. Select Tools and then Print Quality Report.
2. Evaluate the diagnostic page for any defects.

For detailed steps, refer to HP Smart Tank Printer Print Quality Solutions.
