wireless printer lag

i have a windows 8 PC with a wireless printer HP officejet pro 8500 a910
it works ok - but each time i print, it waits for 25 -30 sec before starting to print

the printer is set to start printing immediately - not after spooling

how can i set it up to start printing Directly?

it is an HP P6-2307eb system
it does not use the router wifi, it uses the internal 802.11 Wireless b/g/n PCI-E Mini card

jackieman, if it has a wifi card, why would it use the router?  (btw it's an old one: B-Box)
or what do you mean?  the printer is not connected to the router physically, but to another PC over usb (but i doubt it has anything to do with this
