Delay in Wireless Brother All-in-One Printer.

[donpiper]

When I send a printing message to my wireless Brother MFC-8480DN using Windows 7 a small window saying "Connecting to Printer" pops up 3-5 times and it takes 2 or 3 minutes for the printer to start printing. How can I fix this?

I have reinstalled updated drivers and the printer is only a little more than one year old. It just started doing this within the last month or so. I have checked for viruses using several different software packages. Also, perhaps related, my computer seems to take forever to do things such as opening programs or files. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi donpiper.

Or try these operations:

 

1) If the warranty has already expired, you could try to open your PC (first unplug it from the mains...!) with a lot of caution and, gently, remove the dust with a brush and vacuum cleaner (or hair dryer) and, possibly, apply the thermal paste to the processor. Block the fans, they shouldn't rotate fast. DON'T touch capacitors and DON'T open the power supply unit. If you are unsure, ask to a more experienced friend of yours or bring your machine (computer) to the assistance!

The following operations should be simplier than this one.

2) Open an elevated command prompt and type:

cleanmgr /sageset:1 

Press enter, tick every option (or the options that you prefer) inside cleanmgr advanced menu, click ok, then type this:

cleanmgr /sagerun:1

Press enter and wait until it finishes.

3) Download adwcleaner portable (click), run it and remove the offending entries.

4) Download wise care 365 portable (click), extract it and put it on your desired/preferred folder.

5) Create a system restore point (or let it create by WiseCare, it should ask it to you the first time you run it)

6) Double left-click wisecare365.exe, click (top right corner) custom --> settings --> custom checkup, select/tick all entries (or the entries that you prefer), click save, click checkup, wait until the scan finishes, click fix.

7) Click the third tab at top: system tuneup

On the left, click the fourth tab: startup manager

Remove unnecessary items (keep enabled antivirus and processor items)

8) Launch sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt (and report the result here, after it finished)

9) Defrag your hard disks (it may take hours... Try first the OS partition only).

If you often get BSODs, skip this.

 

 

Looking forward for your kind feedback!
