Try the following solutions if the product 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-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.

For more information, see:

Check the estimated ink levels

Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink. Insufficient ink may cause the printhead to overheat. When the printhead overheats, the printer slows down to allow it to cool.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 3: Contact HP support

Solution: Contact HP support for service.

If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.

Cause: There was a problem with the product.
