Canon Slow Printing Solution


How to solve this printer case, there are several ways you can do. Please follow the tips below so that your Canon printer can print normally again as usual.

1. Make sure your computer's condition is normal

Printers that are slow to print are not only caused by printer factors, but also problems can come from the computer or laptop you are using. Make sure your computer have enough hard disk space on the C system drive, so that there is a place to store temporary files while the computer is working.

Also make sure that your computer is completely sterile from a virus infection. Because if you get a virus, the computer system files will be damaged and this can make the printer slow to print.
