how often do you print? it might have been spending time cleaning the ink heads. and how old is this printer? old school, impact, dot matrix printers were tanks. ink jets are flimsy little butterflies in comparison.

Hmmm.... Maybe reinstalling your printer or updating the drivers would do the trick. You can find better drivers on the internet than what came on the install disc that came with the printer. I'd try going to the manufacturer's website and looking for new drivers.

Sounds like you have a weird setup, a weird printer or a slow computer ;)

Your computer can give me a healthy competition. When I click Google Chrome it takes 3/4 mins to load and 10-15 mins showing this browser isn't responding. And if I try to print or run any program, It's slower than the average time women take for makeup before going to party. 😕

7 minutes? That's interesting 🤔.

7 mins?! :o Is this a regular thing? There could be something wrong with the computer >.>

And if you have a slightly older printer,copier, scanner there are no drivers for it!

Don’t you just miss the 90’s ?

OMG I know right? I find printer troubleshooting to be more frequent and more difficult to solve in this “modern” age.
