There is actually no settings that could speed up the printing time of your printer device. It might be the ink quality problem, remember that there are different print qualities that could be chosen or setup to the printer. The higher the quality of the document being printed, the longer your printer taks to print it. You have to setup your printing device ink quality to fast draft for you to obtain maximum printing. Refer to the manual of your printer device to access the option.
