@STRANGE_183,

Thank you for posting your query on HP Community,

Let's try to delete the job files and then restart

1. Turn off the printer using the power button and then unplug the printer power cord from the power outlet.

2. In Windows, search for and open Services.

3. In the Services window, right-click Print Spooler, and then select Stop.

4. After the service stops, close the Services window.

5. In Windows, search for and open C:Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS.

6. Delete all files in the PRINTERS folder.

7. Shut down your computer.

8. Connect the printer power cord to the power outlet, and then turn on the printer.

9. Turn on the computer, and then try to print. If the issue persists, continue to the next step.

If the issue persists, let's uninstall the printer from the root level and then reinstall it by following the steps below: 

• Press “Windows key” + “r” to get the “Run” window.
• Type "services.msc" to get Services – Go to “Print spooler” – Right-click and “Stop” the service.
• Now again open "Run" - Type “spool” and ok - Go to PRINTERS folder - delete everything in that folder.
• Go to services again - Start the print spooler.
• Now check for issue resolution.
• If the issue persists, also try clean installing the printer drivers. Here are the steps:
• First, unplug the USB cable from the printer if present.
• Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP LaserJet printer entries and uninstall them.
• Now go to Control panel – Devices and printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
• Press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" (There is a space between .exe & /) and press enter.
• Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
• Again, go to the Run window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
• Restart your computer.
• Please click here to download and install the software.
• Connect the USB cable if prompted and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
