Envy 4500: Envy very slow to print 4500

I have a craving for 4500 and it takes several minutes to print a single page.  The status bar indicates it is connected to the computer and the bar moves that printing takes place, but it's really slow!  Any suggestions?  I have a Macbook with OS X Yosemite.

Welcome to the HP community @tsuzannenc,

I've read about problems you encounter with your printing is slow, when printing from your Mac running 10.10, and I wanted to tender hand to try to help outs! Before you begin, try to make a copy or two in front of your desire to 4500. If copies are too slow, try a reset of the power and try to reproduce again. If the copies to work correctly, go to the procedure below.

Reset the power supply:

Turn on the printer.
With the printer, unplug the power cord at the back of the unit.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the back of the unit.
If the printer does not by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

Please, try the following steps in the order and try to print again to edit text.

  1. Reset the printing system
  2. Repair disk permissions
  3. Restart the Mac.
  4. Click here to download and install the complete driver: HP ENVY 4500 series full feature software and drivers
  5. In addition, to download this driver: HP v3.0 for OS X printer drivers

Good luck!

    This is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges.  I don't know if supports Officejet 6110 print reserve mode, 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.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 +: OfficeJet Pro 8600 + very slow to print

    We recently purchased a new MacBook.  From the beginning on this MacBook, our HP 8600 printer takes long time to start an extremetly to print.  Sometimes it prints ever.  The printer is set up wireless.  Sometimes the print area will say that is having problems connecting to the printer, but not always.

    This only happens on this MaxBook.  I have an iMac and a Windows laptop, both connect to the same wireless printer.  Both of these printing devices print jobs fairly quickly.

    I downloaded the new drivers.  Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer.  Restarted the printer and wireless access point.  Disabled iPV6.

    Don't know what else to try.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600, Windows XP, very slow to print scanned pdf

    All other prints exception scanned to PDF print normal PCDFS, even imported e-mail, etc., all other types of files.

    Problem occurred after problems with XP, computer tech could rectify not so copied all files and reinstalled XP, no problem with XP, but the printing problem now with my own scanned pdf.  Thanks for any help.  JLS1946

    Thank you to all who responded.  I have to admit it's a tough trying to decide it's the printer, it's Adobe, is the USB connection / wireless?  Now, that's what I managed to rule out now (thanks for all the help that JLS1946 did) it's not the connection.  I went until take that to someone who is very familiar with the Adobe and they suggested uninstall/re-installing Adobe. He said you should not lose your saved work and which corrected this before.  However, not all of you use the same software or the print version. PDF files, it seems.

    Knowing what I know about the way in which the information is transferred to the printer, it is meaningless for me how only a few .pdfs are slower than others.  Check the contents in the file you are trying to print and compress, when you can.   I know that the web content may take longer to process during a print job and now I have to wonder if that has no place in the commonality among all of those here.

    I think the last document I ran through should have some good suggestions. Let me know if it works. One of the reasons I don't think specifically that it is the Officejet 8600 is especially because it happens to other printers like this.  The only thing you have in common is Adobe. While searching for other PDF readers, I have noticed Adobe had so many stars (3.5 stars) like Foxit Reader (4 stars) did.  I'm not the right person to defend as to who can be a better software to use however.  I know I like CNET for their reviews and videos.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 printing very very slow - network printer

    Print very slowly.  For a document of several pages that can be printed a correct page followed by letters and random symbols on the following pages printed on a line at the top of the sheet of paper.

    Printing test page OK.  Using the Windows 7 on an Apple Mac operating system.   Impression was carry out well so far.  Tried stop, check the cartridges etc.  Nothing seems to work.

    I am using Bootcamp.  However this communication of computer printer works perfectly for months until this time.  I have tried everything, checked everything.  Ensured that I cancelled all printing of all laptops (our printer is connected via WiFi at home (Home Office).  Finally, I pulled out the mechanism of double-sided printing see if paper jams exist.  No jam.  Moved to the printer across the room, small room of 6 feet.  Plugged into an outlet different.   Restarted my computer under Mac OS, operating system, and print.  Print perfectly.  Restart Windows via Bootcamp and he continued to print perfectly.   Lost in the morning to try to make it work! But happy now. Can't really say that one thing has got to work.  (perhaps restarting the computer?)

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 6830: HP OfficeJet Pro 6830 - very, very slow to print...

    We just picked up the HP OfficeJet Pro 6830, installed and started to 'use' it. However on the choice of the option to print even a single page monochrome printing - the printer takes a minimum of 2.5 minutes to start and the first sheet on is fully 6 to 7 minutes.

    During the startup process, there are several sounds printhead, cartridges of rolls etc apparently moving in the printer, while a minute passes before paper is taken up by the printer followed by another 2-3 minutes for the first sheet of paper, slowly in the printer.

    For 2-3 minutes the paper is caught in the printer maybe 1-2 "at the same time for half of the page, and then suddenly the rest of the document is completed quickly.  As noted above, this time is on a pdf document which is free from any graphic or anything else of the text. The first official sheet on the calendar for 4 pages of images and text from a PDF from Adobe is 1 minute and 10 seconds.

    If anyone can offer any idea or experience on how to fix this, I'd appreciate your comments. Other that the printer will be back to the retailer for replacement or refund.

    Too little, too late... no effort real here to solve the problem, the same old copy and paste replica of any other officer of the HP Support that can be found nowhere else in this forum - were there, already has not found these 'ideas '. Try to support rather than blaming your end users! -HP makes pay you for it?

  • 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.)

  • 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.

  • After update for HP UPD PCL 5 on the network drivers, local printers now very slow printing

    I've recently updated the HP Universal Print Driver PCL 5 on my Windows 2008 R2 file and print server.  All printers on network HP 5 now show the new driver of the UPD PCL 5, and 5 all seems to work fine from all clients on the attached network.

    However, as soon as I had updated the drivers from server, anyone with a printer connected locally HP began to test response times very slow when trying to print jobs to their local printer or even bring up the properties of the local printer.  I think that it is because local printers also use the HP UPD PCL5 driver, and something "broke" when I updated the driver on the server.   If the local printer is set as default, trying to make it appear a Properties dialog box takes several seconds (before it was instant), and clicking PRINT in any application results in a noticeable delay for the print dialog box to appear, followed by another notable delay (as in 10-20 seconds) before work is treated and control the application returned ot the user.  The printer takes then to another a few seconds to process work.  Essentially print jobs local just went from 5 seconds to 30 seconds or more for each task to start to print more.  This is unacceptable.

    I tried to remove all printers on network among the PC client, and then deleting the local printer as well.  I restarted, then used the install.exe HP UPD PCL 5 to start the installation on the local computer, choosing to do an installation of USB.  I turned on the printer local return and it has been recognized and loaded the new HP UPD PCL5 driver, but the problem persists.

    So after messing around with this more yesterday I think I narrowed down it to a port number.  It seems that when computers with local printers connected downloaded the new UPD PCL 5 form the network (updated their drivers for network printer), he reconfigured the USB port for each printer connected locally.  The USB port on the local printer will now appear as "DOT4 generic IEEE 1284.4 support printing", while before I'm pretty sure he showed as "DOT4 HP Laserjet one."   This white paper (which is unfortunately for Windows XP) appears to support the hypothesis that the port has changed and that the generic port is much slower (this is what we see now with local printers).  White paper on the issue of generic DOT4 port

    I tried to delete all printers that use the UPD from a local system and then using the install.exe form the UPD package to install the local printer as a USB printer (disconnection of the latter before installation and then in reconnecting it when you are prompted by Setup), still the same generic port is re-created.  How can I change the generic port to a specific port HP driver for printers normally respond again?

    Furthermore, I opened a ticket with the help of HP on the issue Monday afternoon, it is now Wednesday morning and the only response I received was a request to make sure that my cables were not more than 6' long.  Seriously HP support?

    My best guess is that you do not use the name of specific driver to the version on the print server.   Driver version-specific name will look like "HP Universal printing PCL6 (v5.9.0).   Non-specific to the version name will look like "HP Universal PCL6 print.

    When you work with print servers, it is recommended to use the name of the version-specifc driver.   I think what happened here are that the driver has been updated on the server, and this update was then pushed to clients through point and print because the pilots names.

    You have indicated that you are using the PCL5 driver.   In a general office print PCL6 offers the best combination of performance and print quality.   I recommend you go to PCL6 immediately, unless your devices or custom applications/solutions are not compatible with PCL6.  (This is very rare)

    If it were my system, here's what I'd do.

    1. Download UPD PCL6 5.9.0 and PARK of www.hp.com/go/upd
    2. Install the UPD PCL6 5.9.0 on my print server using the name specific to the version - create a temporary queue.
    3. Run AutoUpgradeUPD.exe from the PARK to remove queues existing impression on my print server and re-create them with the PCL6 driver.   (See http://youtu.be/mYCVx1RBp9w for more information on this utility)
    4. Remove the temporary queue
    5. On my clients, I would remove the existing printer USB connections.
    6. Run the UPD PCL6 5.9.0 installer and select the USB - Plug and Play mode and make sure that both check boxes are enabled.
    7. Re-connect local printers.

    Something else I could try to implement PRNCON of the PARK on each client.    It will be delete and re-create the connections to printer to the print server.    This can be run without command-line switches, but I like to use the '-2000 w' command to force a second 2 the delay between the removal of the printer connection and recreate.

    In a last time, I'll make sure to remove any old/unused drivers from the print server.

  • 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.
