Check any personal firewall software installed on the computer
The personal software firewall is a security program that protects a computer from
intrusion. However, the firewall might block communication between the computer and
the printer. If there is a problem communicating with the printer, try temporarily disabling
the firewall. If the problem persists, the firewall is not the source of the communication
problem. Re-enable the firewall.
The printer prints slowly
Try the following solutions if the printer is printing very slowly.
Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting
Solution 2: Check the ink levels
Solution 3: Contact HP support
Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting
Solution: Check the print quality setting. Best and Maximum dpi provide the best
quality but are slower than Normal or Draft. Draft provides the fastest print speed.
Cause: The print quality was set to a high setting.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Check the ink levels
Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges.
NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes
only. When you receive a low on ink message, consider having a replacement
cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace
the ink cartridges until prompted to do so.
NOTE: The printer can operate with one or more depleted cartridges. However,
printing with depleted cartridges slows the printer and affects the quality of printed
documents. If the black cartridge is depleted, blacks are not as dark. If a color
cartridge is depleted, output is in grayscale. When possible, replace the depleted
cartridge. Do not remove the depleted cartridge until you have a new ink cartridge
available. For information about how to install new cartridges, see
Replace the
ink cartridges.
CAUTION: While ink cartridges are not damaged when left outside of the printer,
the printhead does need to have all cartridges installed at all times after the printer
is set up and in use. Leaving one or more cartridge slots empty for an extended
period may lead to print quality problems and possibly damage the printhead. If
you have recently left a cartridge out of the printer for an extended period and
have noticed poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more information, see
Clean the printhead.
