Printer problems with I Mac

I have recently installed a new I MAC, and have installed my HP 4700 series wireless printer. All is connected fine however the speed of transfer of data and final print of a basic text message is very slow - for something that should be printed in seconds. It has neen suggested to me that the I may have the Mac set to scan all documents rather than print text.

Any help or advice appreciated - thanks

Do HP Support your printer for use on Apple machines?

I have an Officejet J4580 and it prints and copies fine but wont. I recently found out that the reason for this is that HP have stopped supporting Apple products on a number of their devices.

Just found this:-

So looks like its not fully supported.
