Printer prints slowly - it could be because of that

If your printer suddenly prints slowly, this may be due to outdated drivers. In this practical tip, we have summarized further troubleshooting solutions for you.

Printer prints slowly - the best tips

So that your printer prints again as usual, we have put together the following tips for you:

• First, make sure you have the latest driver installed for your printer and system. Outdated drivers can potentially cause problems.
• You can obtain the latest drivers either from the manufacturer's website of your printer or via Windows Update.
• The printer may also print slowly because the file is very large. Therefore, save the document or image in a different format to minimize the size.
• If this does not help, you should disconnect the printer from the power supply for about 10 seconds. This clears the cache and fixes minor problems.
• Alternatively, you can reset the printer to factory settings in the settings on the device. Please note that you may then have to set it up again.
• In some cases, faulty cartridges cause slow printing. Therefore, replace all cartridges to check this.
• When using ink cartridges, make sure that they are suitable for your model. Rather use the original brand, as other cartridges may not be recognized.
• If these tips do not solve the problem, there may be a major defect and you should have the printer repaired or replaced.
