First thing to do is a test print from the printer, if this works then the printer is ok.<br />

Actually HP Support helped me to discover the problem. I was using Rhinotek Cartridges. Sometimes when the metalic plate of the cartirdge doesn't make good contact with the printer it will print slow or print spotty in places. It is a very strange thing and I would have thought it was a bad cartidge for other reasons because as far as I was concerned if the printer saw the ink cartridge that meant it was ok. Sorry to have wasted everyones time.

I have a HP 5650 and a Dimension 2400. Recently the printer started printing really slowly. I mean a line every 1.5 minutes. I have no idea why.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have done the following<br />
<br />
Replaced the USB cable<br />
Replaced the Printer<br />
Reinstalled Windows XP<br />
<br />
Why else could this be happening?<br />
<br />
What would you try?

Printer Problem

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
