HP 7210 on network

[SlimSenior]

I had my HP 7210 printer hooked up[ as a network printer. Printing was slooooooooow, if it printed at all. Then I hooked the printer directly to one computer and printer was acceptably fast. Why was printing over the network slow and what can I do to correct it, please?

Thanks

Does anyone have an idea?

Need more info. How did you hook it up on the network? Did you use a print server, if so which? What kind of network? How fast is the network for other applications?

Printing was slooooooooow, if it printed at all.

Any error messages? What were you printing? What driver are you using?

I hooked the printer up to a router (hub?). There are five computers on the router and I do not use a server. All of the computers are in my home. The network is fast for other applications, although sometimes documents are a little slow in loading from a distant computer.
