Hp psc 2410xi photosmart. starts to print - sounds normal then bogs down and prints like a turtle.

Question

Will take forever to print.  Just started out of the blue.  Will print everything, but I must wait until night time and they will be done by morning.  I reinstalled a new driver and that didn't solve it.  Help.

Answer 1

This is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges.  Remove the black cartridge and print a test page.  Does the printer print at normal speed?  Is so the black cartridge was the issue and should be replaced.  If not then put the black cartridge back in and remove the color cartridge and print test page.  If the printer now prints normal speed the color cartridge was at fault and needs to be replaced.
