I checked with our team of experts, and they do have some recommendations for your Photosmart 7960 -- and this might help other folks as well. So please bear with me as I try to explain:

First, the slower printing time may be related to what you're printing -- photos, PDFs, and other intricate documents just by the nature of their content are more complex to print than a text-only document.

Secondly, your driver may be out of date, another setting on your computer may need to be optimized for your printing needs, or perhaps the connection between your PC and the 7960 itself may need to be checked.

We want to help you diagnose and resolve the problem as soon as possible, so please check out the following support pages and see if this can get you going in the right direction:

I've taken 4-5 online courses and found them ALL GREAT!! You actually have many opportunities to interact with the teacher and fellow students from all over the world. The latest one I took was the "PC Tune-Up" class - and NOTA MINUTE TOO SOON! Within about a week of course completion, boy did I get into some sticky computer trouble. But NO TROUBLE for me. Just picked up my handbook [they supply you with weekly readings - some quite lengthy - which you can choose to print out and make into your own "tutorials." Well, within a few minutes I found the problem in my class materials, applied the suggested solutions and - bingo! - problem solved! I've certainly not taken them all and perhaps I've just lucked out - but I'd sign up for another one without hesitation. [also, you go at your own pace - if you join the class 1/2 way through you just work a little faster. There is an EASY quiz at the end of each week's material and a printable certificate - suitable for framing! - when you've completed the class. If you have to drop out mid-way, you can just join the next session when it's offered and start off where you started!]
Good Luck!
