crabcakes is most likely correct. Printers do print more slowly if they are printing more complex pages. Ink jet printers may also print slower than normally if the computer is under heavy load (use), since ink jets rely on the computer to process the page. The Canon i350 is noted as a slower printer, so you can't expect too much speed from the unit. |

Thanks crabcakes. Printing now at one ppm. in black and white. I do not use a camera, usually I am just printing text from web pages. Same paper used as always,so no change there. Would reloading the driver help? |

Assuming you are printing from Internet Explorer, if you go to File->Page Setup, then Printer, Properties, it should show the options selected for printing. Is the "Quality Type" setting correct (ie. "Text" if you are printing text only), and "Plain Paper", if that is what you are using. If you click on advanced, is "High Speed" checked (uses bi-directional printing). I don't know whether turning off "Edge Smoothing" would make it faster. Also, as appleacolyte-ga has said, if you have many programs/processes running at the same or if the page is more complex it might take more time. |

Thanks all, problem now solved. The print head slide bar had a thin film of dried ink on it which was causing the head to stick to it and slow down. I wiped the slide clean and regreased the drive gears then hey presto the speed came back. |
