Downloading printer it taking too long

I am trying to download my new hp printer on my laptop. It has been scrolling for over 30 minutes. How long does it usually take?? hp 5740 e-all-in-one wireless

Hello @gravesl, 
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having a problem installing the software for your 5740.
I would like to help.
The install should not take that long. In my experience, setting up the printer for out of the box to finish, should be 20 minutes to half an hour.
So that I may better assist you i would like to clarify something.
What is taking a long time?
Is it the actual installation, or are you downloading the software from HP.com, and that is what is taking so long?

  • IOS 8.0.2 download that is taking too long?

    I have an iPhone 4s and downloaded iOS 8.0.2 onto my iTunes and into my phone within 2 hours. My sister has an iPhone 5 and iOS 8.0.2 has already been downloaded onto her iTunes. The only process left is to have the download completed on her phone, but that is taking much longer than the actual iOS 8 download to iTunes. The download bar on the phone has almost reached the end, but has stuck at the same place for the last hour. (This did not happen with my phone.)
    I have unplugged the phone from the computer, but the download bar is still visible with the same point that has not moved a bit. How can this be fixed? How can I increase the download speed? Or do I have to patiently wait? Please help!

    If you unplugged the phone from the computer, you have already interrupted the download and install process. An update via iTunes is not a Wifi update, so once it's unplugged, it is not going to start up again.
    Reset the device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the "Slide to Unlock" screen will display. Go to Settings>General>About, and see what version number is showing. If it is 8.0.2, then you should be good to go. If it is not, hook the device back up to iTunes and start the update again.

  • TS2776 how do I stop a movie download that is taking too long?

  • Software download for appletv taking too long!

    How long should a software upgrade take for appletv. Currently saying 11hrs and my Internet broadband is ver good!.

    But they don't pass through the computer.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • HT4736 Taking too long (2 minutes) to locate and download photos into Photo '11 9.5 (902.7 build running on an older Intel based MacBook Pro with iPhoto libraries on a USB2 External HD).  I checked and repaired HD permissions. Any ideas?

    Regarding iPhoto '11 9.5 (902.7 build running on an older Intel based MacBook Pro with iPhoto libraries on a USB2 External HD).  I am dealing with iPhoto taking too long to download photos.  Specifically, I rechecked and repaired HD permissions. I am running the most current software my five year old Intel MacBook Pro can run.   What happens is that when I connect an external SD card, or my iPhone, the new version of iPhoto takes up to two full minutes to fully acknowledge the device. Then locate new photos and be ready to download them to my external HD.  I am kind of concerned about this.  This has never happened before. 
    I take 20,000 photos a year.  I really don't want to lose any.  Or is there something I am doing wrong?  Or need to be aware of?  Any experienced suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Have a great day.
    PS.... The cameras I use are Canon SX-30, Nikon D3100, and my iPhone 4S.  Thanks again for your assistance.

    Hello Old Toad.... Those sound like great ideas. 
    I thought I checked and repaired disk permissions on my main boot HD.  That boot disk is Mac OS Extended (Journaled)  Capacity 749.3 GB.  Available 562.53 GB.   BUT.... now that I think of it.... the Seagate external HD with USB2 interface is: Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Capacity 639.79 GB, Available 36.2 GB with my latest iPhoto Library 517.37 GB that was already scanned & updated to be read by the latest iPhoto version. 
    I'll try your suggestions tonight as far as double checking 'permissions' and setting up a tiny test library.
    Or maybe it's time to fill up another External HD?
    I appreciate your and anyone else's suggestions to try.
    Have a great day. ~~ David in Rochester NY

  • Iam using 3015 network printer. while iam printing from word it is taking too long to print

    Respected sir,
    I am using 3015 printer.  when ever i give print it is taking too long time nearly 1 minute . there is no problem with the network

    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can find the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the router's IP address (ends in .1) into a browser.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • What will happen if i leave the wifi area while downloading ios 7 software? the download is taking too long and i need to go somewhere

    ive been trying to download for hours now and its taking too long, i have places to go but i dont want to leave the wifi area if it will harm my iphone and the ios7 software isn't finished downloading...

    I think you can stop the download without any harm coming to your phone. But if it is actually installing and not just downloading, I would let it finish.

  • HT1657 I just rented an HD movie, but it's taking too long to download and I would now prefer to download the regular version. Is there a way to change the quality without paying agin?

    I just rented an HD movie, but it's taking too long to download and I would now prefer to download the regular version. Is there a way to change the quality without paying agin?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately you cannot re-download rentals, allow it to finish and enjoy it and consider the situation for further rentals.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • My atv is taking too long to download a rental

    My Atv 2 is taking too long to download a rental movie

    This would be caused by your network.
    First I would check www.speedtest.net
    8mbps required for instant 1080P
    6mbps required for instant 720P
    You can change to SD in the settings if on a slower connection.

  • Ios 7 taking too long to download from iTunes

    Iam an iPad mini user.i am trying to download and update to ios7 software.but is taking too long(10 hours) and shows no sign of decrease.so what is the solution to this?

    It should not take so long.
    Try reset iPad and work from there.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Browser times out when trying to view my website - says the server is taking too long. And no, I don't have a firewall.

    I can't view my website at www.artisancandies.com, even though it's working and everyone else seems to see it. No, I don't have a firewall, and it's not because of my internet provider - I have AT&T at work, and Comcast at home. My husband can see the site on his laptop. I tried dumping my cache in both Firefox and Safari, but it didn't work. I looked at it through proxify.com, and can see it that way, so I know it works. This is so frustrating, because I used to only see it when I typed in artisancandies.com - it would never work for me if I typed in www.artisancandies.com. Now it doesn't work at all. This is the message I get in Firefox:
    "The connection has timed out. The server at www.artisancandies.com is taking too long to respond."
    Please help!!!

  • I shut down when an upgrade was taking too long yesterday, now Itunes will not open today

    I shut down when an upgrade was taking too long yesterday, now Itunes will not open today

    Hello James,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    From what you are describing, I have 2 recommendations. First, troubleshoot for 3rd party plugins that may be causing an issue after the interrupted update:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
    If the issue persists after followign the article, I would next download iTunes from the download page, and install it.

    Take care,

  • Elements 10 reinstall taking too long

    I've been trying to reinstall Elements as I've recently upgraded my laptop. The download says it's taking anywhere from 6 to 21 hours!! I've tried it three times on three seperate days on both Chrome and IE and it always ends with the message "the download was taking too long and was stopped by the network". When I try to restart it it restarts from scratch, making it imposssible to ever complete the download. How can I reinstall Elements? I'm downloading from Thailand, is there a special server I should be connecting to?

    What is your current Bandwidth?
    Try from Adobe.com, and use the "In-Cognito Window" (Ctrl+Shift+N) in Chrome, (When you go to www.adobe.com, Choose - UnitesStates English, if it asks you)
