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 device. If there is a problem communicating with the device, try temporarily disabling the firewall. If the problem persists, the firewall is not the source of the communication problem. Re-enable the firewall. For more information, see Configure your firewall to work with HP devices.

If disabling the firewall allows you to communicate with the device, you might want to assign a static IP address to the device and re-enable the firewall. For more information, see To change IP settings.

Check the system configuration

Make sure the computer meets the minimum system requirements for the device. For more information, see System requirements.

Check the device software settings

Print speed is slower when Best or Maximum dpi is selected as the print quality. To increase the print speed, select different print settings in the device driver. For more information, see Change print settings.

Check for radio interference

If the device is connected using wireless communication and is printing slowly, then the radio signal might be weak.

Placement of the text or graphics is wrong

If these solutions do not work, the problem may be caused by the inability of the application to interpret print settings properly. See the release notes for known software conflicts, refer to the application's documentation, or contact the software manufacturer for specific help.

Check how the media is loaded

Make sure the media width and length guides fit snugly against the edges of the stack of media, and make sure the trays are not overloaded. For more information, see Load media.

Check the media size

•Content on a page might be cut off if the document size is larger than the media that you are using.
