Cleaning the pickup roller or Changing
the pickup roller for instructions.

Print job is extremely slow
The maximum speed of the printer is up to 20 pages per minute for the HP LaserJet 1160
printer and up to 22 pages per minute for the HP LaserJet 1320 series printer. Your print job
might be very complex. Try the following:
● Reduce the complexity of your document (for example, reduce the number of multiple
graphics).
● In the printer driver, set the media type to plain paper.
Note
This may cause toner to fuse improperly if using heavy media.
● Add printer memory. See
Installing a memory DIMM (HP LaserJet 1320 series printer
only).
● Narrow media or heavy media will slow printing. Use normal media.
