Question HELP with very slow printer..

[jargey3000]

HP Deskjet 3634 printer. Windows 10. Printer worked fine until I had to unplug it a few days ago. Now, it takes about 30 seconds to start printing the first page! I didnt do anything. I’ve tried the suggestions about unplugging and re-plugging back in etc., and I tried the updating driver suggestions, no luck- it says the driver is correct & up to date. Hoping I can get some advice here to solve problem. Thanks.,

If you're working with Windows OS, you can try and reinstall your chipset/USB drivers in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

Speaking of which, does the same issue crop up when plugged into another system/laptop?

According to this AI search - <url> you can try to check the following possible solutions/causes

• Using high-resolution or best quality settings
• Selecting certain paper types, especially glossy or photo paper, can cause slower printing
• Low ink levels
• Outdated or corrupt printer drivers
• Weak Wi-Fi signals or unstable network connections
• Print queue issues: A backlog of print jobs or a stuck job
• Some printers have a quiet mode that reduces noise but also slows down printing speed

and some other (see link), that is listed but probably less likely.

Since you mention unplug/plug I assume you meand the printer is connected by USB ?
