My printer is going so slow it takes several minutes to print one separate page. I have 3 of these printers for over a year and this is the first time I have had this problem. I swapped it out with one of the other printers and tried to print from a different computer and program but it didn't make a difference. Also prints slow in the copy mode.

Here is the link to all the support options for your printer including user manual and troubleshooting if you need it; http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=421991&lc=en&cc=uk&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=uk first follow this troubleshooting procedure if you have a windows pc connected; http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00093466&lc=en&cc=uk&dlc=en&product=421991&rule=36216&lang=en and this one for Mac; http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00108051&lc=en&cc=uk&dlc=en&product=421991&rule=36216&lang=en Hopefully this will resolve the issue, especially the third item about turning off the paper type sensor. any help you need with any of the procedures, please ask again. If this doesn't work, then; Make sure your drivers are up to date and not corrupted - download new drivers from; http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&cc=uk&dlc=en&product=421991&rule=36216&lang=en& see if you can borrow another printer from someone (doesn't have to be the same, but that would be best), install it and then see if you get the same problem, confirming if the data transfer from the pc is or is not the problem. If the other printer works fine, then the next thing to suspect would be the power supply - try plugging into a different power socket, and try and get hold of a new power adaptor and see if that works. Replace any connecting cables to the pc with new good ones, just in case that is the problem. Hope this helps, if the machine prints at all then it should be fixable :)

SOURCE: HP PSC 2410 very slow printing issue

It is a cartridge problem. Solution for my hp 3645 (I have the same story as bb18, but different printer) was to remove color cartridge! 
The printer is fast now, of course it does not print in color :) (I`m waiting for a new color cartridge) Good luck,
Marcin

SOURCE: printer not printing

If this printer has the duplexor feature there is a plate just above the paper tray and the paper may be stuck in there. Pull out the paper tray and look for a sorta blue button on the top right side inside of the printer. Push that button and the duplexor tray will drop down and that is where the paper may be hiding.

This could be from the image you are printing. If you are printing from a computer or memory card, the dpi (dots per inch) may be higher than some.Standard printing is typically 400dpi, and you can change the settings on your computer or the printer directly. Memory cards and some photos from your computer may be 600dpi and will likely take much longer to print since there is more "color information" that it is trying to fill.
Let me know if this helps.

Press the cancel button. Then press the "setup" and top "copy option" buttons together to enter maintenance. Use the right arrow (right copy option) button to scroll through the options if you like, but then hit the cancel button to skip the alignment.

I have a lexmark optra sc 1275 I just downloaded the drivers and tried to print but it takes 3 minutes a page. What is wrong?

Probably nothing. This is a very slow 13 year old printer, claiming 7.5 pages per minute for black and .5 ppm for color. Make sure your settings are for black only to get the maximum speed. Even then, manufacturer claims are often high for print speeds, so 3 minutes a page, especially for color, is probably about right.

My Brother HL1230 printer prints with whole lines of text missing several times on a page and gets worse by missing more lines if printing several pages. It has a new toner cartridge. How can I sort this...

I have a brother MFC 3240C. My Black ink stopped printing(initially printed horizontal faded lines and gradually got worse), the other colors were printing fine. I tried cleaning numerous time( 50 -100 times over 1-2 weeks ). Still no improvement. The way I print now is:
1. I go to Printer Properties
2. Change Media type from "Plain Paper" to "Inkjet Paper".
3. Change Quality to "Photo".

This takes a long time to print 1-2 minutes per page. However, this works for me since this is my Home printer and use it for printing only few pages here are there.

Good Luck

LaserJet 5Si printing slow use to be able to hit the print key then the printer would fire away. seems like the printer pauses between pages then prints maybe 3 to 4 pages per minute

Could be software. I have seen the last several Adobe latest version documents take several seconds to print. I have also seen increased print times with MS office 2003 Powerpoint documents.If it is a single page MS Word or Excel document and u are printing several copies of it, you should turn off the collate feature for printing of that document

I suspect that you are looking at a flow control issue and not a printer failure.

You can check the printer driver and make sure your printer options for background printing.

Also, make sure that your document is not too busy. I've had customers complain about slow printing documents and when I examined the documents, I discovered that there were multiple images overlay ed. The data still had to be sent, but only the top image printed.

Slow Printing

it may just be a slow printer head, maybe an upgrade is in order. look on the box for page printing speed.
it may also be that you have the resolution set too high for basic printing. try turning this down slightly.

hope this helps.
