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.

    Thank you

    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)

    I hope this helps

  • LaserJet Pro M201dw: Laserjet Pro M201dw - print very slow or not at all

    Hello - I bought a M201dw Pro Laserjet is approximately 3 months.  I just change the original cartridge as an idea of how much/little it has been used. It has worked well for 3 months but started printing very slowly, or not at all with in the last few days.  It is not a network printer, it is directly connected to my PC.

    Thanks for any help,

    Hello

    Try going into the service of the printer menu and changing the USB high speed to full

    The printer will restart and will have the best speed for the connection

    So, make sure the USB under 6 ft s and s a direct connection print and PC (without REPEATER MULTIPORT USB or something similar)

  • PSC 2110 all-in-one now prints VERY SLOW

    Maybe I just need to bury it, but my psc 2110 started extremely slow printing - 15 minutes for the align cartridges page, 17 minutes for the 'self-assessment report.  So, it has nothing to do with the connection between the printer and the computer (these prints are of the printer itself).  I tried unplugging everything, wait, and plug it in; Remove and reinsert the ink cartridges; align the print cartridges; Download the HP printer utility (who reported "No problems found"); looking for an update (it says I have the latest).  Any ideas?

    If the printer prints a swath, and then pauses for 15 seconds before the next broke then probably the issue is one of the ink cartridges has failed.  If the PSC 2110 is capable of printing mode reserve (with one of the removed cartridges), then you can remove a cartridge, print something, then replace the cartridge, remove the cartridge else and print something.

    Whatever that cauese cartridge the printer to print slowly is the culprit and should be replaced.  If the PSC 2110 does not support the mode of the reserve, then you will have to use trial and error to find out what cartridge is at fault.  I would like to start with the black cartridge.

  • My 7410 faithful had staarted printing VERY slow

    My HP 7410 faithful began unusually slow printing.  It seems to be printing line with 10 seconds between the lines.

    I "think" there was a recent update from HP... but I'm not sure.

    It doesn't matter if I'm printing from the PC... or using the Panel configuration or by using the copy on the 7410 feature... still print line-by-line with 10 second pause between the lines?

    Thank you... TR

    This is usually caused by one of the default cartridges.  Try to remove the black cartridge and printing (do not copy) a test page.  If this prints to the near normal speed the black cartridge is faulty and must be replaced.  If the printer still prints slowly then put the back black cartridge in and remove the color cartridge, and then print a page.  Replacement of the cartridge that causes slow printing with a new cartridge, the problem will be solved.

    Assuming that the cartridges are original HP (neither remans or refilled) you can check the status of the guarantee as stated here.

  • p1102W: Google print very slow clouds on HP P1102W

    I use a Chomebox with Google Cloud Print to print to HP laser printers several.   It works very well on all of them except P1102W printer.  On P1102W printer, it takes about 3 to 5 minutes between the moment where a page is sent to the printer until it actually starts to print.   Each print job sent to a P1102W takes at least 3 minutes to start printing.

    Please note that the only way to print from a Chromebox with Cloud Print.

    When I print to a printer P1102W directly from a Windows PC, either using the Wi - Fi connection or via the USB interface, pages always start printing within seconds.   Also, if I print on the printer using HP ePrint service (without using Google Cloud Print), starts in a few seconds.   Therefore, I must conclude that there is some kind of incompatibility between the P1102W and Google Cloud Print.

    I saw several other reports of this problem with this HP printer.    Is there a solution?   If a delay of at least 3 minutes is normal when you use Google Cloud Print to this printer, it is not 'Google Cloud Print ready'.

    Just to close this issue.    An Executive Assistant to a VP of HP called me about the problem.   The final resolution was to send me a credit of $200 for another HP printer.   I used credit to buy a HP Laserjet color that works very well with cloudprint.

  • Reference Dell V715W is printing very slow

    I recently installed the Dell V715W printer it installed ok and print ok, unless you want to print anything that has all the graphics on it... He takes seriously until 5 minutes to print one or two pages.  If you want to print just a word with text document, it prints quickly.  Any ideas on why printing is so slow?  I am running Windows 7 64 bit

    A few thoughts more...
    -would be good if you could test it with another wireless router in exclude
    -with certain printers, there is an option to basically 'print as image' (makes a huge difference when we had a similar problem with PDF - totally different Scenario however).

  • Printer prints very slooooooooow move

    I have a HP PSC 2510 all-in-one printer

    My PC is HP Pavilion dv7 notebook

    I started using a nr of cartridges remanufactured HP56 (bought by Albert Heyn)

    The printer has accepted this cartridge but after some time had errors of fact does not recognize the cartridge. Out the cartridge and inserting the cartridge again solved the problem, but from that moment on the printer started printing very slow

    printing for example a simple mail takes longer then 2 minutes

    Insert an official HP cartridge does not solve the problem.

    Any idea?

    I removed both cartridges (56 and 57) and them reinserted.

    This solves the problem. So most likely a bad contact.

  • 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.
