HP Photosmart 7760 slow printing

fyrebug72 · 11-01-2008, 10:13 PM

I just bought an HP Photosmart 7760 on CraigsList for $20. I got it home and installed all the drivers. When I started printing, it took forever to print a page. Like 15 mins!! So I re0installed the driver. Same thing. So i tried to print a picture from the card reader. Same thing!! So it looks like I have wasted my $20! So if you think you know what the problem is PLEASE tell me!!! Thanks!!

I had same problem and recently found that it was the color ink cartridge. The multiple page reports I needed to print only needed black ink so I completely took out the color cartridge.... after reading about this solution at another site...... and it worked.
