This printing delay issue can be related to network communication settings between your printer and the Deco network. Please try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Verify IP address configuration:
• Ensure that both your Dell PC and HP printer are getting IP addresses within the same subnet (the Deco's LAN IP range). You can check this by verifying both devices have IP addresses in the same range (e.g., both should be 192.168.68.x).

2. Check network settings:
• Verify that both your PC and printer are connected to the Deco's main Wi-Fi network (not the guest network)
• Ensure that "Device Isolation" is disabled in your Deco app settings

3. Windows Network Profile (if applicable):
• If you're using Windows, make sure your network profile is set to "Private" rather than "Public". A Public profile can cause delays in local network communication.
• You can refer to this FAQ to change your network profile: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/3072/

4. Test direct connection:
• Try connecting your Dell PC directly to the main Deco unit via Ethernet cable and test printing to see if the delay persists

5. Printer firewall settings:
• Confirm that the firewall settings on your printer allow proper communication from the local network
