Checking status of print jobs etc

[hbf1842]

How do I check what the printing status is, e.g. what print jobs are in the queue?

Hello @hbf1842,

Thanks for showing your interest in the HP Forums! I see that you would like to know how to check the jobs in the queue. I would like to help.

1.  Go to the search box on the taskbar and enter devices and printers.
2. Select Devices and Printers and find your printer on the list.
3. Right-click on it and select See what's printing.

Let me know if those steps worked for you. If they did, that’s awesome! Give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons, that’ll help us and others see that we’ve got the answers! Good Luck!

This will probably work, except that I can't find 'Devices and Printers'.  Is the Search Box the one called 'This PC' on the task bar? If so, when I entered 'Devices and Printers', it didn't find anything.

Hi @hbf1842,

On the Startup screen with all the big icons, just start typing Devices and Printers and it should pop up to select it.

Here is a great video that walks you through the steps a different way: Checking the Print Queue in Windows 8.

Thanks!
