Print jobs delete automatically in the print que - HP M15W

[tech_helpwhere]

New printer, successfully installed on Chromebook with a previous router.

Now have a new router and am have connected the printer to my Windows Desktop and the new router.  I believe that was all done right (I see the printer on my computer and according to the print settings the printer is connected to my wifi).

As soon as I try to print something it shows up in the que and right away the status says "deleting" and it never prints. 

Windows trouble shooter didn't show any problems. I downloaded 3 hp softwares, nothing shows any problems.

It can print from my Chromebook still, both before and after changing the router that my printer is wirelessly connected to.

I cannot help with the software (installing, for example) - my expertise with Laser Printers is not extensive.

That said...

If the job is getting to the Print Queue and then disappearing, it might be a Print Service or a permission issue.

Check / Reset Print Services and then check the permissions for the Temp folder in AppData.

Print Queue / Print Service Reset

After a print job has been submitted, it is very quickly turned over the Windows Print Services for completion.

When a job is "stuck in the queue", it is sometimes due to Print Services having hung, become stuck, or otherwise failing to properly complete the job.

Start Here:  Print job stuck in Queue

and / or

First, check that Windows Update is not in need to installing updates.

Settings > Update and Security > Check for Updates

NOTE:  If an update is already pending, install that update > Restart the computer and log in

If still stuck…

If the current print job will not cancel or if a previous print job is stuck in the queue,

and

If the issue is due to Print Services being stuck / hung / corrupted, Restart the Print Service

Manual Queue Reset

Details…

Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools > Services

Scroll down, find, Right-Click, and Stop Print Spooler Service

Open File Explorer (formally Windows Explorer)

Navigate to the folder and Delete the files from folder C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS

Start Print Spooler Service

and...

Jobs in Print Queue Disappear

If the print job is making its way to the print queue and then disappearing:

• Temp folder requires full permissions, including Read / Write, for current user
• Check / add / edit permissions for user (current login) on Temp folders

C:\Windows\Temp

C:\Users\AccountName\AppData\Local\Temp

Temp_Folder_Permissions_1

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It worked!  Would've never figured it out on my own though I tried!

It was the solution under "Jobs in Print Que Disappear"

I actually thought it didn't work because I changed the permissions for C:\Windows\Temp.  And then  for C:\Users\AccountName\AppData\Local\Temp I had 4 groups (CREATOR OWNER, SYSTEM, CEE, Administrators, Users) and all of them had all permissions except CREATOR OWNER and it gave me a failed msg/access denied.  But I went back and tried again and after the message I kept hitting 'continue' and it went through.  And I was able to print!!

So thank you very much again 😊

You are welcome.

This is one of the odder things that can happen - it is not as common as the "usual" calamities that befall print job submission.

Stay Safe.

Better 2021...
