correctly. To resolve this, uninstall the HP software completely, and then reinstall the HP software. For more information, see Uninstall and reinstall the HP software.

Check the cable connections

•Make sure both ends of the USB cable or Ethernet cable are secure.

•If the printer is connected to a network, check the following:

◦Check the Link light on the back of the printer.

◦Make sure you are not using a phone cord to connect the printer.

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.
