Your computer needs to format each print job using the installed print driver. This can take time depending on the amount of graphics and type of document you are printing. The printer should print fast once it receives all of the information needed to print each page. Did you compare this to other printers on the same computer? Are you using wireless? Wireless connections can be slow or can be disrupted by things such as microwave ovens operating nearby.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You may not have the proper drivers set or you have the printer going to sleep. I just bought and installed 3 of these for a customer and they are VERY fast at printing and waking up...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Go to advanced settings and make sure it's not set for 1200 dpi. I have it set at 600 and it's pretty fast.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Use USB direct connection to the printer instead of network.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All laser printers take a minute to warm up before they start printing.
