HP 2610 prints slow regardless of how it is set in the computer.

Try going on the hp support and download the driver for that machine

Try uninstalling both printers and their software and then reinstall them, the 3845 first. See if you get the same results before installing the 2610.

hmm..you may need to remove that premium plus option, through the system preferences folder. Then re install the drivers(get em here for updates) for the Inkjet printer. And be sure to only select the features you really want.

By self-test, I assume you are doing that manually on the printer. drivers downloaded/installed? right click on my computer, left click on properties, click on hardware, and then click on device manager. is there a yellow question mark by print drivers? If so, then need to load them from the internet or from your installation disk.

Cartridges may give a very slow printing if internally damaged, or :
When using colored paper in the all-in-one, printing or copying is slow.This issue is a result of the automatic paper type sensor misreading the colored paper as photo paper. The print out takes longer because the unit is printing in Best mode instead of Normal mode.

1. Click Start , point to Settings , and then click Control Panel .
2. Double-click Printers and Faxes .
3. Right-click the appropriate all-in-one, and then click Printing Preferences .
4. Click the Paper/Quality tab and under Type is: select Plain Paper . This sets the default paper type setting to Plain Paper.

Hope this helps.

is your operating system Vista.......good luck. my printer worked fine w/XP, scanning and fax functions do not work to date with Vista.

This is more likely a computer issue than a printer issue. The only way to prove it is essentially try the printer on another computer. Preferably one with more RAM and faster CPU.

You could try closing some of the running processes via the Task Manager. This would free up some resources and may help the process.

Your printer creates it's black by using ALL the colours together. This effectively gives a very dark purple rather than black.

It sounds like you have a colour cart that is drying up or may be struggling to get enough air into the cartridge. Make sure you have removed any tape over the vent holes if you are using compatible inks. If not then try running a couple cleaning cycles via the button panel/driver.

If you alter the settings in the driver by going into START - PRINTERS AND FAXES and then right click on your 2610 and select PROPERTIES - the changes you make in here will be set as the default settings for each print job.

got to be a setup problem. in your printer program there is a page for margins, page breaks. set all for zero or disable page breaks. as far as vista goes, personally I never liked it. I am running firefox and have been for the past three years. It doesn't have all the problem back doors like windows internet explorer. rarely do I ever get patches for the program - it just don't need them.AND firefox is completely compatible with 99% of all running programs.
