My HP LaserJet 2015d printer is taking 10 minutes to load 2 pages of a simple pdf doc.What is wrong?

The pdf is 1.4 megs big. It's just an article from a journal. If I ask the printer to print the entire document, I have to wait 3 hours, in which time it prints maybe 10 pages and then it starts spitting out blank pages until I shut it down.

It definitely shouldn't take that long. You may have installed your printer with a Postscript (very complex print language that can cause that problem) or PCL6 (has been known to not work well and cause problems) printer driver. If either one of those are installed then the PCL5 driver will work better for you. Click on this link:

This is HP's website and is the download link for the latest P2015 PCL5 driver for both XP and Vista (since you didn't say which you have) as well as a few others. Download, run and install it for your printer and select it as your default printer and you should be good to go. On that same page there is a tab for installation instructions as well if you should need them.

I would first print a Test Page (see your printer's manual).


Second I would print a one-page document from Word or any other word-processor program. If it takes too long to print one page, you may have the incorrect driver. Go to HP.com and download the updated driver.

I had a similar problem where it would take 90 sec for the fist page, and full speed from there on.


If you get it to work with Word then it should work with a pdf file.
