DeskJet 2544: hp deskjet 2544 suddenly prints very slow but quickly copies

I have had this printer for about 6 months.  Things were very good.  Recently, it started very slow printing.  I read it could be weak cartridges so even if they had both ink, I replaced the.  I have nothing but HP used since the beginning. I noticed that she copy quickly, but print very, very slowly.  Any suggestions? It has been connected wireless but I stopped that and we hung usb thinking that was the issue.  But no. I should add it is connected to a Dell AIO

Hello @sues2015!

Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

I should be able to provide suggestions!  I can see that over time your printer running slowly when printing from the computer wireless or USB connected.  If the printer is capable of performing a photo copy at normal speeds and then indicating that the equipment is working correctly and you are probably looking to a software problem in the computer.  Also if the printer is having the same problem USB or wireless connected pointing more fingers to the software.

The first thing I recommend is to uninstall the HP software. Once the uninstall is complete, it would be wise to perform a cleanup of the computer disk. A disk cleanup will improve the performance of the computer and remove the temporary files that may cause problems during the installation of the software. Once disk cleanup you must restart the computer and reinstall the HP software.

    Hello

    I have experienced this problem myself.

    There are a few things you can try

    1. Check the type of default paper for the printer, go to settings, click on the print properties and make sure the paper type is plain paper
    2. Run windows update to ensure that you have the latest version of the printer driver.
    3. Take a look at this document (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05272556)

  • HP Officejet 4355 printer suddenly start very slow printing! HP technician advice needed!

    Hello
    My all-in-one HP Officejet 4355 printer start suddenly feel very very slow! I've had it for 4 years, and God never gave me any problems (maybe minor once, but never really made me mad), as I used it very often at home and at the office. I always buy the HP original ink cartridge (only once, when I wanted to see how works the charging - it's not) and now the last cartridge has been in the printer for a month or two, nothing unusual, and suddenly my printer starts to print very very slow, if normally it took 10-15 sec for a black and white page now it will take 10 to 15 minutes. Could someone suggest help?
    Please don't talk about the computer/Windows/USB settings, they all work very well. I unplugged the printer from the PC and don't "align the print cartridge. First step, the printed area, took 10 minutes, second step, part of scanning, does not pass. It says printer cannot allocate the alignment page...
    Moreover, I did look around for answers and found that some people say it's a fault of the ink cartridge. But I used this cartridge for a few months now, it's almost, but not yet finished, it was perfectly up to printing. Impressions during this issue come out OK, 7 out of 10.
    Anyone have any ideas? If I could attract professional assistance of technicians of HP, it would be perfect.

    Thank you.

    Although they still ink cartridge may fail and give the results you see, where the printer made a bandage and wait 10-15 seconds for the next Strip. This is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges.  Remove each cartridge and clean the contacts on the cartridge and printer can solve the problem.

    I don't remember if the Officejet 4355 reserve mode supports, but try the following: remove the black print cartridge and print a test page.  The printer prints at a normal speed?  Is therefore the black cartridge was the issue and needs to be replaced.  If it isn't then, put the black back cartridge in and remove the color cartridge and the test page printed.  If the printer now prints speed the color cartridge is responsible and must be replaced.

  • DeskJet 3050 a. prints from scan, but when I try to print from excel or word it does not print.

    I can print scan form but when I try to print a document from either Excel or word (Windows 7) the printer seems to work but the paper comes out blank.

    Hello

    If you have been able to print to the device before, then please try to open the wizard of HP printer (under the start menu-> HP-> HP Deskjet 3050 series).  Once there, under maintain your printer, try printing a Diagnostics Page just to confirm the connection works.

  • My printer prints very slow

    I have a Deskjet 6940. It had been printing very quickly, but is now barely mobile. I don't know if something has changed in my system or what. I even rebooted the SW. I have it configured for Fast project but it chugs along. Not at all as if it were before.

    I need help because I print every day a lot and need to print quickly.

    Thank you.

    The printer print a Windrow, then wait 10 to 15 seconds before the next swath?  If so, then one of the cartridges may have failed.  To troubleshoot this remove cartridges and try to print reserve mode.  If this prints to the near normal speeds then the cartridge you removed must be replaced.  If the printer is still very slow, and then replace the original cartridge and remove the cartridge on the other.  If it prints at a normal speed, then the cartridge that you deleted now is at fault.

    (Note: when printing text in view of reserve with a cartridge installed color printing will be a little slower than normal, but not very slow.)

  • Satellite Pro M10 suddenly ran very slow and freezes

    Two weeks ago, that my SP M10 is suddenly very slow and freeze. After a reset, it began to check the HARD drive, which lasted about 8 hours, and several repair lost clusters to files. But the student pilot did not run faster. I reformatted the HDD to FAT32 (NTFS has not worked) and reinstalled Windows XP. First, it seemed to work very well, but a few hours later, it freezes again.

    After 10-20 min, I got access. This has not changed so far. CHKDSK another also lasted several hours and again showed some lost clusters. I think that my HARD drive is damaged, but how can I see if there a lot of bad sectors? Can I fix it? Can I possibly replace my 40 GB HARD drive with a larger HARD drive capacity?

    Are there restrictions or can I use any brand?

    Hello

    I had the same problem with my Satellite 1900. The result was the HARD drive damaged (bad sectors). I tried to fix it with different tools, but without success. The best solution is to swap the HARD drive.

  • The magic mouse has suddenly got very slow

    As the title says, my mouse works OK, but the answer is really slow and sometimes the cursor jumps and jerks on.

    I tried to clean it, put new batteries and totally forget and then by reconnecting it to Bluetooth, but it still happens. I even bought another Bluetooth mouse not expensive £10 and it works very well, but obviously this is not as nice as the mouse Magic Mouse from Apple.

    Is - this somethiing to do with El Capitan?

    I am running OSX 10.11.3 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid 2010), 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    This looks like a problem of interference for me.   You have introduced a new electronic in the vicinity.  Don't forget to turn off your cheap mouse when you do all the tests.   See this document for further assistance.

  • Dell 944 printer to copy and print very well, but does not scan

    Rhonda,

    You have the OCR program installed?

    In the digitization, if you have the disc that came with the printer, and then insert the floppy disk to the printer and keep it from running. Go to my computer and double-click it. Locate the drive that contains the disk Dell inside. Right-click on it, left click Explore. Find the folder of the OCR. In the OCR folder, there is a folder of Abbyy. Right click on setup.exe, which is located in the folder Abbyy and left, click Run as administrator. This will install the OCR program.

  • DeskJet does not print in vista, but...

    Hello.

    I have a deskjet 2540 and I have 2 computers, 1 with windows vista and the other with windows 8.1. A few days ago, there was a malfunction of the wireless network and 2 computers can no longer print. I went to install the printer on 2 computers and computer with windows vista I can scan but not print from the computer with windows 8.1 I can print but not scan. What should I do?

    Hi @joguirian

    I think would be best to start with printing HP and doctor Scan. Printing HP and doctor Scan is a free utility (tool) that allows to quickly solve common printing, scanning and connectivity problems, including but not limited to:

    • Connectivity:

      USB: Check that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product works properly.

      Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working properly.

    • Device Status Test: checks the errors of the device, such as paper, paper jams, stands transport and paper issues and provides instructions to resolve the error.

    • Driver: checks the driver missing or corrupt files.

    • Device Manager: check the problems in Device Manager that could prevent printing.

    • Device online: check if the product has been suspended or put in offline and then sets the State back in line if necessary.

    • Print queue: checks and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a newspaper for printing waiting to print).

    • Port Match: check the port settings for the HP product.

    • Device conflicts: check the conflicts with other drivers, such as the other brands of printers.

    • Ink issues: check the cartridges and the ink levels for issues that affect the print quality.

    • Print settings: check and adjust the print quality settings.

    • Test print: print a test page for the assessment of the print quality and provides options for cleaning and if necessary print head alignment.

    • Scan tests: check the scanning mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.

    If this does not resolve the problem, after back and let me know if there are all the symbols except the Green checkmarks and what they are next of course. The key is not always easy to identify the key and check mart are in the green circle.

    • If you see only the Green checkmarks (), the tool did not find any problem.

    • If you see green sides (), the utility identified a problem and fix it automatically.

    • If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and requires monitoring of the user, but the step was ignored.

    • If you see a red X (), follow the onscreen instructions to fix the problem.

    I can't wait to hear back on your part.
