How can I unpause my printer and resume printing by my iMac

[Vladek]

HPOFFICEJET4650 and IMAC High Sierra OS10.13.6 After selecting a document or internet article to print a window shows the printer is paused and when clicked to resume printing, it won't.

How do we get it to behave?

Hi@zoomf_16mr, @Vladek,

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.
