Product: HP 8720 all in one
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a 8720 that has recently started to take forever to print. You will submit a print job and it will take upwards of 3+ minutes to print. I have tried requesting a print through the mobile app on my phone, directly from my laptop sitting in the same room as the printer, emailed a job to the printer. Nothing is providing a quick result. I have updated the printer with all the new drivers.  Turned it off and back on again, unplugged it from the power source and let it sit. Nothing has resolved this issue. Even going into setting and printing a test page takes forever. it happens across all programs, Word, Chrome, Edge, Excel, Google Docs, on my laptop. Using the mobile app on my tablet or phone produces the same results. I have one network in the house and have the same problem whether I am in the same room as the printer or on the the other side of the house. The printer has been great, this is having an impact on our productivity now. 

 

The printer stats are as follows:

 

Firmware version - WMP1CN1716AR

Driver name - HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 PCL-3

Driver type - Type 4 - User Mode

Driver Version - 18.68.0.4833

 

I need a solution before I go and purchase a different printer.
