Pixma mg 5722 printer

[Lcd]

Printer is connected to laptop with a USB cable.

Prints way too slow.  Starts to print, stops for a while, prints several lines, stops for a while, prints some more lines, and so on.  Printed faster when hooked up wirelessly.  Can no longer use wireless.  How can I make printer faster?

Use Microsoft Windows.
