The maximum speed of the printer is up to 12 ppm for A4 media and 12 ppm for letter media for the HP LaserJet 1018 printer. Your print job might be very complex. Try the following:

● Reduce the complexity of your document (for example, reduce the number of multiple graphics).
● Access the printer properties in the printer driver. See Printer properties (driver) for instructions. Set the media type to plain paper.

● Narrow media or heavy media will slow printing. Use normal media.
● Print speed is based on computer processor speed, the amount of memory,
   and the amount of hard disk space available on your computer. Try increasing these components.
