same.
Print speed is too slow. Try changing the printer driver setting. The highest resolution needs longer data
processing, sending and printing time. Try the other quality settings in the printer
driver Advanced tab. Also, click Color Settings, and make sure you uncheck
Color Enhancement (True2Life™).
Turn the borderless feature off. Borderless printing is slower than normal printing.
