TR7620A Slow to print

[shamrock240]

I have a Canon TR7620a printer. It prints perfectly. It prints at normal speed. I have Windows 11 and I am using WIFY internet and my modem is about two feet away from the printer.
My problem is when I send a project to the printer it is very slow to start the print job.

Is it a large print job? The printer may be waiting for the entire job to transmit. How long is the "long time" that you are experiencing?

No. Just one sheet. With little information on it. It takes up to a minute for the print to start.

Is it a new problem? Newly installed W11 vs W10? 

[shamrock240]

I bought my Dell desktop with W11 back in June/22.  I always keep it up to date as the updates come out. You ask if it's a new problem, well I remember when the printer responded pretty well immediately when commanded to print. This problem crept up on me slowly until I started taking notice that it was slow getting to the printer. It's been like this at least for the last couple of months or so.

Perhaps I should remove it from the computer and re-install the drivers and see what happens.

[jrhoffman75]

That might resolve it. Whenever I have printer issues I reinstall the drivers.

Thanks John, I will try that and I will let you know the results.  Jim.

Tried that and it didn't seem to help. Not to worry, I can live with it the way it is. After this work it took just over 42 seconds to print.  Merry Christmas bud and thanks for your help.
