Printers are a necessity in any office setting wherever there is paperwork involved. Businesses require an efficient printer to perform printing functions quickly and efficiently. Major business deals and plans could be disrupted if a printer does not function as expected. For example, a business deal may require signatures from all concerned parties and if your office printer has problems printing, then your business deal could stall or even be cancelled. The importance of a printer in the office cannot be denied.

There could be a number of reasons why your printer is printing slowly.

Here are some common causes:

• Low ink or toner levels
• Paper jams or feed issues
• Weak WiFi signals and other connectivity issues
• Software or driver compatibility issues
• Outdated firmware or drivers
• High print quality settings
• Printing large files or high-resolution images

The following methods can help resolve your slow printing issues.

1. Change print quality from high to standard:

• Click on devices and printer.
• Select your printer model.
• Right click on the printer and select your printing preferences.
• Select plain paper in paper type and choose standard format.

2. Check Wireless Connection:

• Sometimes using wireless connections can decrease the printing speed of any printer.
• Thus, the best advice is moving both printer and router closer.
• By performing this step, you are maintaining good signal strength through your Wi-Fi connection.
• You can also restart the router. To do so, detach the cables and restart after plugging the cables back into the router.
• If this method works, then you are good to go!

3. Keep your Printer Driver Updated:

• Your software/drivers should be up to date.
• New and updated printer drivers can increase the printing speed of your printer and fix minor errors and bugs.

4. Add More Ram To Your Printer:

• Adding Ram to your printer can help to more efficiently process larger and complex images.
• Assign more Ram to your printer by accessing the printer function on your hard drive.

5. Detaching Printer’s power cord to increase printing speed:

• This is the last method to increase the printing speed of your printer.
• Detach all the power cords from your printer and wait for 30-60 seconds before reconnecting them into your printer.
