Hi @Tanzanite1,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

To find the print queue on your HP ENVY x360 15.6-inch 2-in-1 laptop and create a shortcut to it on your desktop, follow these steps.

 

Finding the Print Queue

Open the Control Panel:

  • Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
  • Type control and press Enter to open the Control Panel.

Navigate to Devices and Printers:

  • In the Control Panel, click on "Devices and Printers."

Open the Printer Queue:

  • Locate your printer in the list of devices.
  • Right-click on your printer and select "See what's printing." This will open the print queue window where you can view pending print jobs.

Creating a Shortcut to the Print Queue on Desktop

Create the Shortcut:

  • Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
  • Select "New" and then click on "Shortcut."

Enter the Print Queue Path:

  • In the shortcut creation window, type the following command:

rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /p

 

  • Click "Next."

Name the Shortcut:

  • Give your shortcut a name (e.g., "Print Queue").
  • Click "Finish."

Accessing the Print Queue Shortcut

  • You can now double-click the shortcut on your desktop to open the print queue directly whenever needed.


This method provides a quick way to access your print queue without navigating through the Control Panel each time.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
