Extemely slow 7610 printing with pauses

We recently purchased a HP 7610 printer to take advantage of the wireless and wide-format capabilities. Both of our PC's are running Windows 8.1. We purchased and installed the two-sided add-on for duplex printing. We do not need/want the ePrint capabilities/web services. Web Direct is off. Our local network traffic is very light - no games or movies.
The 7610 is connected via our wireless router, and is extremely slow when printing. It takes at least one minute to begin actually printing although the display inidicates it is printing so it is doing something. Once it begins to print, it prints all pages but pauses for 15-30 seconds after printing about 2/3 of the last page. It finally flushes the buffer or whatever it is doing before it finishes printing and ejects the last page. This happens when printing from any local application or from the web. Our old reliable 7310 (hardwired to the router) prints smoothly and quickly.
We installed the driver from the CD shipped with the printer, and have also de-installed and then re-installed using the driver downloaded from the HP website so we believe the driver is current.
How can we eliminate the delay when it begins to print and eliminate the pause when it's almost finished? Do we need to forget about the wireless connection and run a cable to the 7610?

Extremely slow wireless printing with HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

I'm seeing extremely slow print speeds when printing wirelessly from a Mac or a Windows XP system to a new HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer. The printer begins printing immediately when I request a print, but it only prints one line. It will then take about 15 minutes to print the rest of the page, printing each line after a very long pause. Demo page printing doesn't exhibit this problem, only documents from programs like Word 2008, Safari and Firefox (tried firefox on PC and Mac) are affected.
If I connect to the printer through a USB connection it prints fine, so this problem appears to be with wireless printing only.
Printer: HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m
Computer: Mac mini (Late 2009 model) (also tried a Windows XP laptop as a comparison, using latest drivers from HP's website)
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.2 with all available updates installed
Computer connection method: Wired Ethernet connection to wireless router
Printer drivers: version 2.2.1 (Apple supplied, HP drivers never installed as system shipped with 10.6)
Wireless router: Apple TimeCapsule (Early 2009) 1TB, running in a/n and b/g modes on 2.4 and 5GHz. TimeCapsule is in bridging mode as the DSL modem handles DHCP service
Encryption: WPA2 Personal, no MAC filtering or hiding of the SSID.
IP addressing scheme: All addresses are handed out by DHCP server with no reservations of any kind
The TimeCapsule is sitting three inches from the printer and the printer indicates full signal. Connection of the printer to the wireless network and setup of the printer on the Mac went without a hitch. Only when printing a test document did we discover the problem. The wireless network is behaving as expected when accessing the Internet from both Mac and Windows devices (tested with a Dell laptop running XP and a MacBook running OS X 10.6.2), so I don't see any overall problems with the wireless network.
Attempted remedies:
1. Rebooting and powering off, waiting, powering on computer
2. Resetting the print subsystem, turning the printer off and on again and reinstalling the printer
3. Unplugging power from the printer and letting it sit for several minutes before trying to print wirelessly.
None of these worked.
This question was solved.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the DSL modem HW. There might be an issue with how print data is being routed though.
Please try the second experiment where you blank-out the default gateway and DNS entries from the printer's internal web configuration page. Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address. Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11). Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address.
For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank. This is important.
Select Manual DNS Server:
Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty. This is important.
Press Apply.
Turn off the DSL modem, the printer and all computers connected to your network. Wait 60 seconds then turn on the DSL modem and then turn on the printer. Then turn on the computers. See if this corrects the printing speed.

Slow wireless printing with Airport Express

I have a Canon MP530 printer hooked up to an Airport Express for wireless printing. My wireless internet network is through an Airport Extreme. The only thing hooked into the Express is the printer, and it works but is extremely slow. It can take an hour to print one 15 page document. Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm not sure I understand your question, or at least I don't know how to tell connection speed with the utility. The express is set up as an extension to my current wireless network, although I'm only using it for printing.
I had a similar experience with a hard drive wirelessly connected to the Extreme - data transfer was ridiculously slow. Is this something to be expected with wireless connectivity?

Slow first print with LBP6000

I just set up a new LBP6000 on my iiMac running OSX Maverick. The first page printed takes 25 to 30 seconds. In the sales description on Amazon Canon repeatedly says first print takes 8 seconds or less. Is there a way that i can get the 25-30 seconds down to 8 seconds or less?
Solved!

Hi Jimtowner.
The estimated print time is with a document using a standard 5% toner yield (about 16 lines at 12 pt font) on plain, letter paper. Print speed may drop due to a number of factors, such as:
The length of the USB cable you are using
If there are any devices between the printer and the computer. ( EX: USB hubs, switches, or extenders) ***Note*** Canon recommends a direct connection between the printer and the computer.
Issues with USB ports on the computer
Paper size and type
Orientation of the document
The number of pages or copies of the document.
Please review these items and then print another document. Should you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).

HP8500 Very Slow to print or pauses in the middle of page.

I have had this printer for some time now and this issue has just started recently. Print jobs used to print right away but now they sometimes take forever to print or on multiple pages one of the pages stops right in the middle of printing and you have to wait a LONG time for it to re-start and finish. Message in window just says "now printing" no errors. I have not added any new programs. Anyone else ever had this problem? Helpful suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
Also don't know if this is related or not, the print window is now placed on my screen, sometimes overlaid several times. You have to close each one.

You're welcome. I am happy to help. This is definitely a rare instance so I will at least do my best to help out. When was the last time you reset your network? By that I mean, if you have not done this in a while, turn off the iMac, the printer, and unplug the power cord from the back of the router for ten seconds. Plug it back into the router, turn on the computer, and then the printer. This may help.
Also, here is a great document about your computer and what HP suggests for further troubleshooting.

Mac mini slow speed - with pauses

My Mac Mini crashed and I had to reinstall.
Now it runs partly very slow, even with pauses, where I have to wait for responses.
Start-up takes long minutes.
System profiling tools says HD activity reaches a max of 8MB/s.
CPU workload looks far below 100%.
Is there any experience with this?
How can I check and find out more precise the reason for slowing down?
Mac Mini: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, 500 GB HD, 2,66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.7.2 everything updated

As per the reply to your other post with the same question:
This is not something to worry about or be concerned with. Firstly, the paging counts will depend on how long the system has been running since the last boot, but MacOS is designed to actively page out and in, so in itself, the fact your system shows it is doing so means nothing at all.
If your computer is exhibiting some indication of a problem, I suggest you start a new thread here and describe what you are experiencing. That way we can help you directly with the specifics of your problem. On the other hand, if you have just seen the comments regarding paging and system performance and have checked your own Mac to see what it's doing - the answer is that in the absence of an indication of a problem, it's very likely doing exactly what it ought to be doing!

Slow Printing with Adobe Reader 8.1.2 on Terminal Service

When I want to print something on a Terminal Server without admin rights its very slow, when I print with admin rights its fast. Can someone told me where is the problem with the rights?
Thanks

It could be that the Printer Setting has been set to ensure that the Duplex Printing would no longer be applied and its overriding the Printer Dialog settings.
You could check the Printer setting to ensure that duplex printing is enabled.

Anyone experience slow opening document with Acrobat 8.2 that dosen't print properly?

I received a form PDF that opens instantly using Acrobat Reader 9 but is very slow to open with Acrobat 8.2.6. While it tries to open this document 100% CPU is being tied up. When I print the document the gridlines and images print but the text is missing? I updated Acrobat 8 to the latest version but that made no difference.

TRy downloading a new driver for your printer from the p
rinter manufacture then:
open Printer Setup Utility and deleting printer from list.
Now open driver installer just download and if it has a an uninstaller run it.
Next use the sme install program (you downloaded) and install.
Now openPrinter Setup Utility again and look for your printer per instucts for add printer.
now make it default printer.
Now Try to print document.

Color printing with new Pixma very slow

(this was also posted on the general Airport Extreme forum, but I realized later that it's more pertinent to this one)
I recently replaced a Canon Pixma iP4300 printer with an iP4700. It works fine when it's connected directly to my iMac, but when I connect it to my Airport Extreme (to share it with other computers in the house), the color printing is extremely slow. Regular document printing is fine, but a color graphic or photograph takes a very long time. This never happened with my iP4300.
I've tried all the suggestions in the Printer Troubleshooting file and all my drivers and software are the latest versions.
Any other things I should try?

Hello Andy, Thank you!
- The computer is a New MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM.
- Many times, I try with new libraries, even I try Format to zeros, and when import new pictures, the problem appears again.
- All the pictures are imported to the main HD.
- Is a regular spinning type.
- I had try every option, even change the computer for a new one.
- Yes, the OS en every case was updated to latest version.
- No problem by the questions, I apreciate your help.
Best regards!
Ps.
In some users chats, the people says that is a bug of the last version of Aperture, but not in all cases appears.

Extremely slow printing with hp photosmart d110

Recently, I've had extremely slow wireless printing from my laptop to our HP Photosmart D110 series printer. The printer is part of our wireless network and is used by my business laptop and our home laptop. When I send a simple Excel spreadsheet to print, the printer screen says, "Printing", the on/off light flashes and it looks like it's printing. But it takes 1-2 minutes for the document to finally print. This problem does not occur when we print from the home laptop; things print instantly. No updates or system changes before this problem started.

1-2 minutes! Try 10-15 minutes on my Photosmart. These things are junk. I have discussed my many issues with phone support 10-12 times in the last six months with no progress.

I FIXED IT MYSELF.
I simply let the iPod run out of battery.
Then it said CONNECT TO POWER.
And then I did.
And after 15 minutes, it worked!

HP printing with AirPort Extreme

I have a imac with Intel, OSX 10.6. I am using a HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer, and have been for a few years and it has worked extremely well. Earlier this year my old airport extreme went bad and I purchased the latest one. It has the latest updates available. When I got the new Airport Extreme the directions said to plug the printer via USB cable into the Airport. I have been through the system preferences, deleted and added the printer, went through the manual set-up for the Airport Extreme, rebooted everything and it will NOT print. The Airport Utilities recognizes the printer and it tries to print and stops giving me a message of "Printer Paused", or printer offline. When I hit "resume", the printer cycles a bit and them goes to "Printer Paused" again. Everything worked great until I purchased the new Airport Extreme.
The printer works excellent when plugged into the back of my imac, however, it does not make my wife happy because she can't print from her laptop. My Son brought a friend home with him for the weekend that is a Software Engineer. He downloaded software and drivers and installed them and he could not get it to print with the USB cable plugged into the Airport either. He worked with it for 4 hours. The HP printer just will not communicate with the Airport. I have also been getting a message this evening that one of my ink cartridges has expired. I can shake it and it appears to be almost full. I opened a new one and get the same message that it is expired. I have had the new one for several months though because I hate running out of ink.
Any help would be most appreciated.

I am not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to setting this stuff up. I was hooking the printer up to the Airport Extreme because the set-up instructions said to. When the software engineer was here, he could not get the wireless on the printer to find the Airport Extreme. The kid is pretty sharp but was under a lot of pressure to get done so that he and my Son could get on the road. He wasn't expecting to get into the hassles of setting this up.
This is probably mostly because of the name I have given to the Extreme being too long and not remembering, or KNOWING anything about this. I have given the Extreme one name and the network another. I don't know where the set-up instructions are and he was trying to guess. I just tried doing as you said to make the printer wireless but failed for the same reasons he did. I got a message to go back and check the set-up. I am not sure what I am supposed to check for. I guess I will have to change some of the set-up information on the router as far as naming the router and network.
When I got this pinter I did not have v.10.6 on the imac at the time. However, when I downloaded the software from HP, it was for 10.6 and 10.7. I just a few minutes ago got the printer to work with the USB cable plugged into the computer, actually a USB hub. Just a few minutes after i got the printer working by hooking it to the USB hub, a software update popped up for a HP printer update. For a bit of information, I have had problems with concentration since several war injuries in Viet Nam and I get lost easily. I don't mean to use this as an excuse, just explaining that I will be a bit slow following you. I was a Senior Radio Repairman and Communications Chief in the Army and head of the Crypto Center. Now I feel like a lost ball in high weeds. I can still work things out by reasoning to an extent, but sometimes it is very frustrating, so I ask that you bear with me.

OfficeJet Pro L7700 Slow to print

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro L7700 Series printer that is extremely slow at printing, and causing the print spooler service to pause or freeze for several minutes.
- All the clients are running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
- I have tested printing via an ethernet cable as well as wirelessly
- I Have installed the latest driver from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=2512...
Here's exactly what I am experiencing:
When I click print test page the properties window of the printer freezes for 30 seconds to one minute. If I move the window around it says its not responding. Approximately 1 to 15 minutes later I receive a message that the print job has been successfully sent to the printer, and then the printer prints the page.
I have attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the software and driver as well.
Any thoughts/suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated.

Hi @VexedHPUser
Perhaps the Microsoft Fix it utility will help;
What it fixes
You are unable to install a printer, connect to a printer, or print more than one job at a time
You receive an error indicating your Print Spooler service is experiencing problems
You receive an error indicating your is not the default printer
You receive an error indicating: cannot be contacted over the network
Identify if your printer is turned off
Identify if your printer toner is low or empty causing your print job to appear faint or it does not print at all
Identify if your printer paper is low or empty
Identify if the printer has a paper jam which is preventing it from operating normally
Identify if a print job that is in the print queue is preventing other print jobs from printing
Identify if you need to update your print driver
You receive an error stating that your Plug and Play printer %PRINTERNAME% has encountered a driver problem
If the issue persists, I think it might be a good idea to reach out to the Microsoft Community.

Can I print with black cartridge only if colour cartidges are empty on HP C1600 seeries printer?

Can I print using the black cartridge only whilst the colour cartridges are empty? I have a HP Photosmart C1600 series printer and Vista installed on my PC. I have set the Printer preferences to "Grayscale and use Black Cartridge only" but the printer itself is telling me it wont print unless i replace my empty yellow cartridge. I bought a brand new Black cartridge so i could print using black ink only as i dont need to use colour.

Hi,
Many printers from all vendors will not print with just one empty ink cartidge, it doesn't matter which one. Some printers allow users to print but at slower than snail speed. Whichever way, we have to have ink carridges to be able to print (even scan).

Cannot print with HP Laserjet 2200 on network

I run software update periodically and downloaded the HP driver update when it was offered.
I uninstalled the Laserjet 2200 that worked with 10.5.8 in the print and fax system preferences and reinstalled it. It is recognized and I get the correct image for the printer, but when I try to print it pauses, I resume printing and it thinks a little and pauses again.
I chose the Laserjet 2200 printer driver, but it does the same with a generic printer driver and the offered alternative Gutenprint driver.
Other users on the network running 10.5.8 have no trouble printing to this printer.
Thank you

Getting it to work with Windows is super-easy. You'll need to install the printer's drivers and Bonjour for Windows ( http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/windows/bonjourforwindows.html ). Install both of those, open Bonjour, select the printer, done.
I have no experience with Linux, sorry.
