Hi @Jm004,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If you're experiencing slow printing and photocopying on your HP Smart Tank 615 printer, there are several potential solutions you can try to improve its performance. Here are some steps you can follow.

1. Check for Software Updates: Ensure that your printer software and drivers are up-to-date. Visit the HP website to download and install the latest firmware and software for your printer model.

2. Connection and Network: Verify that your printer is properly connected to the network. If you are using a wireless connection, make sure the signal strength is sufficient. If the connection is weak, consider using a wired connection.

3. Print Quality Settings: Adjust the print quality settings. Lowering the print quality can sometimes improve printing speed. Keep in mind that lower quality settings may affect the output.

4. Update Printer Settings: Check the printer settings for any unnecessary options that might slow down the printing process. For example, you might disable features like print preview or background printing.

5. Paper Type and Size: Ensure that the paper type and size settings in both the printer and software match the paper you are using. Using the correct settings can prevent the printer from processing unnecessary data.

6. Clear Print Queue: If there are multiple print jobs in the queue, it might slow down the printing process. Clear the print queue and try printing again.

7. Check for Malware: Ensure that your computer is not infected with malware or viruses. Malicious software can affect the performance of your printer and other devices.

8. Hardware Issues: Check for any hardware issues, such as paper jams or low ink levels. Resolve these issues to ensure smooth printing.

9. Optimize Photocopy Settings: If the issue is with photocopying, check the settings for the copying process. Adjust the settings as needed, and make sure the document feeder (if applicable) is functioning properly.

10. Reset Printer: Try resetting the printer to its default settings. This can sometimes resolve software-related issues.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
