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.

Let me know if this helps you any.

Very slow response, stopping for seconds in the middle of typing an email

I'm having very slow response time with Firefox, so much so that I've switched to IE (gasp!). It'll stop suddenly for several seconds in the middle of typing an email and I have to wait to start typing again. Websites are timing out or just taking a very long time to respond after clicking on something. Yahoo in particular is extremely slow.

For me, I think the "Skype Click to Call 5.11.0.9874" addon was causing the slow response. Once I disabled this addon Firefox was responding normally.

Officejet 6700 very slow to print does not scan to Imac

I just purchased a new officejet 6700 from Costco it takes at least 10 min to print if at all and does not scan to Imac the current osx is snow leopard 10.6.8 using an airport time machine as a my wireless router / backup I have charter internet with ARRIS modem model # TM502G its also very slow to run any functions in the hp utility I did notice that the home network ip and printer ip are different don't know if that is an issue or not any help would be appreciated thanx.

Hello kennethburland,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your concerns with your Officejet 6700 Premium.
What program are you printing from? Do you notice this issue occur from using multiple program(s)?
Please follow this entire HP document on Slow Printing. Make sure you choose your correct operating system.
You did indicate that your printer's IP address and your home network are different. The first three numbers of the IP address should be the same, but the last number(s) should be different. Please reference this HP document on Wireless Basic.
Are you receiving any error message indicating why you are unable to scan a document to your computer?
If you are receiving a "Connection Error", then please follow this HP document here. If the scanning software isn't responding, then follow this HP document here.
Please inform me your troubleshooting steps.

Very slow PDF printing on Canon MG7550 printer

Hi,
When I print large PDF files (25 pages) using network or cable it prints very slow. It lasts forever before the print job has been sent to the printer. When the print job is finally received there can be 1-2 minutes between each page. It just stops printing, then starts and so on.
Can someone help me with this?
System and software:
Macbook Pro, OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1
Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, version 11.0.10

I am only guessing here because I don't know the specifics of the printer that you are using. Since all of the pages are scanned that means you basically printing images. This take much more memory than say a text document would take to print. You may be getting a spooled effect as your printer tries to manage the memory it takes to print the document. Your settings are probably set to print directly to the printer. You could try spooling to the hard drive and it might print more smoothly but still take a while to print.

Photosmart D5160 very slow to print

My printer takes forever to print, either from internet or Word doc. Sometimes the computer 'drops' the print request several times before printing as well. I've reinstalled the drivers but nothing has changed. Any suggestions about what I should do next much appreciated.

Hi @EastDevon,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Photosmart D5160 is very slow at printing. I am happy to help you with this issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer test page prints at normal speed or if it is also slow. How To Print Internal Tests.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please take a look through this guide. The Printer is Printing Slow.
Hope to hear from you soon!

HT1338 My MacBook Air is very slow. Every time I click the mouse, the spinning wheel appears and remains for up to 30 seconds. Can you help me?

My MacBook Air is very slow. Every time I click the mouse, the spinning wheel appears and remains for up to 30 seconds before the screen changes. This has been happening the past 24 hours. Any ideas?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

I have recently updated to ios6. But safari browser is very slow ,even twitter, Facebook also facing the same problem also cannot accsess to some websites too.

Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
For Safari ..... Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I am running XP SP2 fully patched. I recently upgraded to 3.6.3 and since then, clicking on an icon that normally would open another windows (for example, a printer-friendly version of the current web page), nothing happens. In these situations, I have been forced to go to IE or Crome in order to accomplish what I need to do. Very frustrating. Also clicking in the slider area has no effect. "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys work. Holding down left mouse button on slider works. Also very frustrating. Can someone help
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Upgraded to 3.6.3.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

HP Laserjet Pro 200 printing random rectangles in the middle of images

My HP Laserjet Pro 200 color printer is printing random rectangles in the middle of certain images. It doesn't do it all the time, usually it's with any images that are grey, blue, green or brown. I installed brand new HP compatable cartridges and the issue is still happening. I've shut down the printer and restarted it, I've ran the test page and it comes out perfect! Please help. Heather Whittle

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

::iPod Skips Music::
Is the iPod skipping all purchased music from the iTMS? If not, skip down to Part 2. If so, follow these directions:
Do you have the most recent version of iTunes? If not, download it from here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
Do you have the most recent version of the iPod Updater? If not, download it from here:
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Still skipping? Try Deauthorizing and Reauthorizing your computer. See this article:
How to Authorize and Deauthorize Your Computer
Still having trouble? Follow these steps suggested by top forum member, Jeff Bryan:
1.) Deauthorize the computer.
2.) Create a new user in the system.
3.) Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account. Play the song to authorize it.
4.) Restore the iPod in the new user account.
5.) Sync the free song to your iPod and determine if it plays on the iPod.
If the song plays, you have a corrupted iTunes Library file. You'll need to recreate your iTunes library file in your normal user account:
How to Recreate your iTunes music library
After you've recreated your iTunes library, things should sync nicely.
<hr> Part 2
If you are only having trouble with a small number of song files from the iTMS or songs you've ripped from a CD, follow these directions:
iPod skipping songs?
First off, make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes, iPod Software, and Quicktime.
For those of you who get zero playtime from songs (i.e. it doesn't even start the song before starting the next one) try this:
Resetting the iPod
and if that does not work, this:
Restoring the iPod
For those of you whose songs are skipping after getting partway through the song, two questions.
Did you rip these songs from CD's you own? If so, try reripping the affected songs.
Are the songs that are skipping iTMS store files? If so, we'd like to know the following, because there may be a problem with the song file:
1.) Song Name, Album, and Artist
2.) iPod Model (Identifying the iPod Model)
3.) iPod firmware (this can be found under Settings>About>Version)
Thanks,
JC
