Why is my printer taking so long?

If your printer is taking a long time to function, this could indicate an issue with the connection or a dodgy file. To resolve this, you need to address each possible fault.

Firstly, check that everything is properly connected. Check the settings on your PC, laptop or mobile device and ensure that everything is fully linked up.

If everything appears okay with the connection, check to see that the file is safe. If there is an issue with the file, then it is likely that the document will not print. A simple, quick-fire way to test this is to simply double click to open the file. If an error message pops up, and the file does not open, then there is a strong chance that it is corrupt.
