Officejet 8610 printing is EXTREMELY slow

My 8600 died, and I got an 8610 to replace it.  I have it connected wirelessly to my laptop, and by USB to my desk top. Either way, when I print a document, it prints very slowly in fits and starts, as other people have also experineced.  I have yet to see an actual solution to this problem on the forums.  I have Windows 8 on both machines.  And yes, I've followed all the other steps in the forum:  making a copy, plugging into the wall, uninstall and reinstall.  Please give me some ideas, or I'm returning this paperweight.  It's faster to print it from my fax machine.  

Hi @Gruenke, 
I understand the printer is printing slow using a USB connection on one computer and wireless connection on another computer. You have already tried a lot of steps to try and resolve this issue. I can help you today.
Try printing a hardware self test to see if you have the same results.
Printing a Network Configuration Page.
Temporarily turn off the Antivirus software to make sure it isn't interfering.
Disable all the startup items. Click Here.
Try printing again.
If no change, turn the Antivirus software back on and enable the startup items again.
Make sure the ink levels aren't low, that might cause this issue.
What are the ink levels?
Are you using Genuine HP Cartridges?
For the networking, please try these steps:
I would power cycle everything.
Turn the printer and computer off.
Disconnect the power cable on the router for 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable again.
Turn the computer on, then the printer.
I would setup a Static IP for the printer to see if this will resolve the issue.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Go to Solution three: Assign the printer a static IP address.
Try printing again.
For the USB connection, try these steps:
First I would try another port on the Laptop to see if you have the same results. On Laptops, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and the USB cable is connected directly to the computer.
The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet.
Is the cable a 2.0 or 3.0 cable?
Check the power management on the computer to see if that is causing the issue.
Go into the device manager, under universal serial bus controllers, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
If the issue persists, try another USB cable. Just to rule that out.
If you are still having issues, set the driver to print directly to the printer.
Go to the start up screen, (tiles menu) type in "Devices and Printers", select settings, click on Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer, go to printer properties, click on the advanced tab, select print directly to the printer, apply and OK.
Let me know if that makes a difference.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

  • Spooling a job to an AirPrint enabled printer is extremely slow (HP or Epson)

    Spooling a job to an AirPrint enabled printer is extremely slow (HP or Epson). 
    I am a technical support person for the CEO and other executives of a large corporation.  I've set up AirPrint capable printers in several homes and seem to be coming across the same issue in a number of these homes.  More often than not (the issue is intermittent) when I try to print something from an iPad or iPhone to an AirPrint enabled printer it takes almost a minute for the job to spool.  It doesn't seem to matter how long the document is either as the same thing happens whether it's one page or ten.  At times the iDevice cannot even find the printer even though the WiFi connection is excellent and the network is functioning properly. We have tried HP and Epson AirPrint devices and it happens to both.  When printing from a laptop wirelessly over the network, we do not experience this issue so I don't think it could be a network problem. 
    In any case, the network setup in these homes is fairly simple.  We have a wireless router, a gigabit switch connected to that which feeds various rooms throughout the home.  The rooms have Ethernet connections and we have APs set up in some of the rooms to ensure full wireless coverage.  In a few of the older home we use PowerLine APs to expand the network. 
    I've seen others with the same issue but have yet to see a fix.  We've tried updating the firmware on the printers, routers and APs but nothing has helped.
    HP Printers we've been using: PhotoSmart 7520, OfficeJet 6700 Premium
    Epson: Stylus NX430
    Does anyone have any other advice? 
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Once the job hits the printer it prints immediately.  It's right after you tap Print on the iPad that takes a long time. There is a box that pops up saying that the job is being processed (don't remember the wording exactly).  Once the box disappears it also takes a bit of time for the job to hit the printer. 
    The actual process of the printer printing is normal. 
    Also, in some cases the iPad won't even see that there is a printer connected to the network even though the printer is powered on, online and the iPad is connected to the home network.  Usually a reboot of the printer fixes this problem.
    Thanks

  • Officejet 8610 print manual feed?

    I often have to print the back of a single sheet and it's a pain pulling out the tray to load one piece of paper. This was a cinch on a printer that had a vertical tray on the back. Is there no manual feed on the 8610???

    Hello @Slycat!
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums today!
    From what I gather by your question, you are printing on the back side of a single document, but does the document already have print on the other side?
    If so then yes you will have to pull out the try and put that document print side up.  The printer only has an input try for printing on the front of the machine and does not have a top feeder designed for printing.  You will have to pull out the try to put in a single page manually.
    If your document has no print on the other side then you can use the two sided printing option within the HP software. Please follow the document for Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplexing) for HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer Serie.... 
    I hope i was able to provide some help regarding your concern. please post back and let me know how it goes!

  • Officejet 8610 printer error

    printer 8610 says printer error with blue light flashing telling me to turn the printer off then on....i do that and it is fine for a short time and does it again....i have even unplugged it and turned it back on and it will still do it after a short time

    Hey @jewels2, 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I hope you enjoy your experience here.  
    I understand you're encountering a recurring error status with your HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer.  I would like to assist you with this.  
    Are you able to interface with the printer's touch screen at all, ie. - is it responsive to your touch so that you can access your printer's menus?  I have a couple suggestions that might help.  
    If you're able to use the printer's touchscreen still, try restoring its factory defaults*:
    *Note that completing this step will reset your printer's wireless configuration, ePrint address, and other customized printer settings.  If you have created a custom @hpeprint.com address it will be permanently erased.  For more information on custom ePrint addresses, click here. 
    From your printer's front panel: 
    Touch Setup
    Touch Tools
    Touch Restore Factory Defaults 
    When you complete this reset you'll need to re-establish your wireless connection (if you're a wireless user) and re-establish your webservices connection if you're an ePrint, Printables, or scan to email user.  To do so, simply touch the  icon, enable webservices and touch OK to allow for automatic printer updates.  
    Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  If these tips fall short I can private message you the steps to complete a semi full reset if need be.  If I have helped you resolve the issue and you liked this post, feel free to give me virtual props by clicking on the 'Thumbs Up' icon below.

  • 7210 All-in-one with Windows 7 Draft print extremely slow

    I have an Officejet 7210 All-in-One printer and a computer with Windows 7 32bit installed.  I downloaded and installed the print driver for windows 7.  Printing was working fine including fast printing.  I changed the default color preference from "high quality" to "grayscale black only" and now my draft printing is extremely slow.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    jsin007

    Hi
    The 7210 was always a good workhorse printer.
    It may be that your slow printing issue is related to installing the Windows 7 driver. When the Windows 7 print driver was installed it may be that the Windows 7 installer did not remove the older print driver correctly. This may cause conflict issues which could possibly cause the slow printing you are experiencing.
    I do have a link to a troubleshooting page for a printer not printing after the installation of the Windows 7 driver.  It involves downloading a print driver removal utility & then re-installing the Windows 7 driver.

  • How to fix extremely slow printing from web pages with latest updates (iMac) & HP Office jet printer. (It was not a problem with earlier versions of Firefox & same computer & printer.)

    The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?

    Try scanning from your Mac.  Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
    Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom.  Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

  • Extremely slow printing 8620c

    I have purchased an Officejet pro 8620 a month ago and experiencing extremely slow printing ( 5 minutes per page).
    I am using a Macbook air with wireless connection. The HP Officejet is also connected via wifi.
    I have reinstalled the printer. I am using the normal printquality setting.
    Who can help me? 

    Hello @MartijnAmsterda , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you're having issues with slow printing.  I would like to help!
    I have a couple of questions that will help get to the bottom of this.
    - If you make a copy through the feeder or glass, does it come out slow?
    - What version of the Mac operating system are you using?
    - Do you have any other devices on the network that connect to the printer?
    I'd recommend powering down your Mac, and performing a power reset on the printer.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then remove the power from your router.  Wait 60 seconds. 
    After 60 seconds, plug the router in, let it start up, and begin broadcasting.  Once it has begun broadcasting, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet.
    Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.  Once the printer is up, power on the Mac, and try to print. 
    Please keep me posted.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Extremely slow copying officejet 6500

    Hi,  I've got an officejet 6500 wireless that has worked fairly well for the last year or so.  Recently it has slowed down when making copies (when printing, everything works fine and at the normal speed).  The copying is EXTREMELY slow--approximately 1-2 minutes per page.
    I've replaced the ink cartridges and haven't messed with any of the settings that I know of.
    thanks for your help in advance

    First repair permissions.
    Next I understand that if there are multiple copies of fonts that they need to be physically removed not just turned off.
    Locate FontBook (in Applications Utilities) and  see if it shows any duplicate (will have a little filled in square beside each font). check to see which is newest version. keep that one then remove the old to a Blank folder. the zip of stuff the file and then trash the fonts left from compressing. (not the ones you left in original folders). and empty.
    See whether Acrobat works better.
    Report back. a Lot of times Microsoft if they have office have duplicates.

  • Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro: Extremely slow printing

    Whenever Acrobat Pro (8.1.2 on OSX 10.4.11) is used to print, pages print extremely slow, up to 5 minutes or more per page. When printing documents, bigger dan 100 pages, in several hours it will print, but contributes a zero kb file to the print queue. My only solution so far is to use the free acrobat reader for printing purposes, which prints the same document flawlessly in minutes...
    Anybody have the same issues and/or better solutions?
    Thanks in advance

    I think this is a problem related to 8.1.2.
    We're on Windows XP SP2 on very new PCs with no printer driver changes. The Reader version is now 8.1.2, and a simple, black and white 1 bit PDF file that took a few seconds to print before, now takes minutes to even send to the printer after the upgrade. (The last workstation that upgraded this morning is now complaining of the exact same issue.) I've even tried removing my SOPHOS anti-virus to see if that's the issue - no change in Reader's print performance. All other applications print fine. I can't seem to troubleshoot the problem, but I believe it's something Adobe changed in 8.1.2. Maybe it's time to seriously try an alternative reader...

  • Laserjet CM1415fnw - wireless printing extremely slow

    Hello,
    I've got my new CM1415fnw, set up wireless following instructions and installed OSX drivers on my Macbook. Printer is visible and manageable via HP utility, test page is printing extremely fast.
    The problem is, everything EXCEPT a test page is printing HIDEOUSLY slow - like 5 to 7 minutes after you sent anything to print, the printer finaly starts printing it... And if you're printing a multi-page document, it actually takes 5 to seven minutes for EVERY page to start printing!
    Obviously, something must be very wrong with this shiny new printer printing at cool speed of 8-10 pages PER HOUR, where my old Photosmart C7100 was happily printing about the same number of pages per minute? All wireless setting are the same in both cases, and as I already mentioned printer is visible and accessible, and test page prints blazingly fast. It's just that except for test page printing this device is pretty much useless at the moment...
    Are there any hints or something I should check to identify the problem? As I'm mentioned, I'm under OSX, so Windows-based HP diagnostic tools are not much help...

    Hello I just bought this printer a few days ago and set it up and have noticed the same problems with extremely slow network printing through the wireless. I have a 70 meg down fast internet connection & a Belkin 450n db wireless router. When I print photos it takes almost a half an hour for the photos to come through the network and print, which seems very strange for an office LaserJet to be considered normal output. I've also look into purchasing an auto duplex accessory and extra RAM but have sadly found out that neither are an option for this model. First off I have to say shame on you HP for not offering loyal customers the option for auto duplexing and RAM upgrading. Second the print speeds on this thing are absolutely atrocious! Third, your outsourcing of customer support or tech support overseas absolutely sucks. I called up tech support and was transferred immediately to the Philippines. The wrong department received my call and then transferred me to India. I spoke with somebody who had a terrible accent and the call quality was bad on top of that so half an hour went by and he really couldn't help me with my slow network printing issues. On top of that I asked him if although duplexing an extra RAM were accessories I could purchase for this model and he couldn't figure that out he didn't have an answer. So now that I finished ranting , can anybody help me with this or is this the way this thing was made to be, slow as can be?

  • Hp officejet pro 8610 prints solid black on scanned pdf and word doc pictures

    -HP Officejet Pro 8610
    -problem printing scanned pdf document and word doc. photos
    -My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 printed a newly scanned pdf document as an all black picture. I then printed a saved word documtent from my iMac which included a small picture. The document print was acceptable, but the picture was solid black. There were no error messages. These were, my initial tests, to check this new printer.

    Hey there @TM-10 
    Welcome to the Community
    I read through your post about your new Officejet 8610 scanning a document to your computer and printing out all black. I have a couple ideas for you to try.
    Try the steps in this guide: Unexpected Scan Output Using HP Scan Application for HP Multifunction Printers When Using OS X v10.9...
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help.
    Good luck

  • HP -Other hardware, printer - Null Fax - HP Officejet 8610

    I recently update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on a desk top machine. Everything went well until Windows is trying to install an update for this printer (HP Officejet 8610). It is getting error 8007002. I checked the Windows site to find a fix and found nothing that works. I did try a couple solutions that I found which did not resolve the error. Has anyone run into this error and if you did were you able to get it resolved? I would appreciate a solution if someone has it. Thanks.
    This question was solved.

    Hi @beary_one 
    According to the Windows website "If you receive Windows Update error 80070490, it means that a file (CBS Manifest) that's needed to install updates is corrupt." 
    This seems to apply to different error codes, including 8007002
    Please take a look at what I found: Windows Update error 80070490
    It appears the reason the file is appearing as corrupt is because it is whats is referred to as a "ghost update". Basically a "ghost update" is an update that was for the device, but the device has more recent drivers which causes the update to keep failing.  The only thing you can do is hide the update, or ignore it.  Windows will keep trying to push it, but your printer doesn't need it.  If it did need the update, it would install right.
    Aside from there error, are you experiencing any issues printing, scanning, or using the HP software?
    If so, running the Print and Scan Doctor could help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:

  • 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.
    View Solution.

    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.
