print delays

I have a HP Photo printer 1115. Every time I go to print it takes about 5-6 minutes for the thing to actually print! Any idea why this may be happening?

Hi sande,

Do you mean for it to start to print(abnormal)? or to finish printing(normal)? Also are you using usb or parallel(printer) port for the printer?

I've had the same problem with a Xerox C20 parallel printer and I always suspected it was a lack of memory issue. Spooling takes a lot of time if you have low memory issues but there may be another problem involved. What has HP tech support had to say about it or is there a FAQ on their website that references the problem?

Its connected by USB and I'm printing CD labels. The thing is I've used it before and it worked fine, I recently reformatted and now I have this problem. Tech support gave this long list of "to do's", so I still have to try those and update the driver as well. I'll update this after I try that

thx!
