I bought the above printer a few months back and its been on 2 different computers with different OS's (98SE and XP Pro) and different usb ports and cable. After initial installation on either computer with latest drivers from HP the printer prints fast. Usually within about 2-3 weeks, it will just slow down to a crawl, taking about 5 minutes to print one black text page. The only cure is to uninstall it and reinstall. I've done this about 10 times now and i'm about ready to buy something else. HP tech support hasn't come up with any ideas that have worked. I've defragged, moved the swap file to a different hdd, cleared out the temp folder and done everything in their tech support tips and the only fix is uninstall/reinstall. I'm at a loss of anything else to do. Anyone???
