Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,

I understand that you are facing issues with your Printer wherein it is on pause mode. Let's try these steps to resolve the issue: 

  • Turn the printer off and on, and then make sure it is in a ready state.
  • Search Windows for devices, and then click Devices and Printers in the list of results.
  • Find the icon for the printer you originally installed.
  • Right-click the icon for the default printer, and then select See what's printing. The print queue window opens.
  • Click Printer. If a checkmark displays next to Pause Printing and Use Printer Offline, click each item to remove the checkmark. 
  • Try to print.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
