my canon pixma tr8620a is really slow printing color pages, like way slower than my old printer. is this broken?

— asked by Derek

No, this is operating within its rated speed. The print speed is a specification of the model.

Print Speed Specifications:

  • Color: 15 pages per minute.
  • Black: 10 pages per minute.

Factors affecting speed:

  • Print Quality Setting: 'High' or 'Best' quality will be slower than 'Draft' or 'Standard'.
  • Document Complexity: Pages with heavy graphics or photos take longer.
  • Network Traffic: Wireless printing can be slower if the network is busy.

If it seems excessively slow: Check for low ink levels, as the printer may be performing maintenance cycles. Ensure you are using the correct, up-to-date printer driver from Canon's website.

Trade-off: This model has a slower print speed compared to some other models, as noted in its comparison. It is not designed for high-speed printing workloads.
