Welcome to the HP Community --

 

Windows provides print queue options.

 

Start here:

===========================================

Windows - Print Queue / Print Service Reset

 

  • In most cases, after a print job has been accepted, it is turned over the Windows Print Services for completion. 
  • When a job is "stuck in the queue", it is sometimes because Print Services is stuck or otherwise “broken”.
  • If the job is accepted and quickly disappears, it is perhaps the result of incorrect Temp folder permissions.

HP Printers - Print jobs stuck in print queue

 

===========================================

Windows - Details > Manual Queue Reset

 

> > > Windows 10 / Windows 11 < < <

 

Windows Start > Search for “Services

Optional > Right-Click and Pin to Start / Taskbar > Open Services App

 

> > > Windows 10 < < <

 

Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools > Services

 

Next,

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

 

Open File Explorer (formally Windows Explorer)

 

Navigate to the PRINTERS folder

NOTE: Folder might be hidden.

 

C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS

OR

C:\Windows\System\spool\PRINTERS

 

Delete any files found in folder 

Start Print Spooler Service

 

====================================

 

What else?

 

 

==========================

Windows - Print Job Controls

 

Depending on the printer model, you can also exert job control within Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > Select Printer model

 

Print Queue Management - Set up "Save a print job to reprint later"

Print Queue - Job Pause, Restart, Cancel

 

The "reprint" feature must be set ahead of time to "Keep printed documents".  (The feature is not switched on by default.)

 

This method requires that the user base (those people submitting print jobs) do not change the print queue by removing entries.  If the full driver printer software is corrupted, reloaded, or removed, the job queue data is lost.

 

Save jobs to be reprinted later

 

The following applies to recent versions of Windows and a printer for which the Full Feature Software / Full Solution Software has been installed.

 

 Windows 10

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers 

Right-Click on your Printer > Printer Properties

(If necessary) Change Properties

Tab Advanced

Select Keep printed documents > Apply > OK

 

Windows 11

Settings > (Bluetooth & devices) > Printers & scanners > Select Printer >

Printer Properties > Tab Advanced

Select Keep printed documents > Apply > OK

 

Next,

When jobs are saved in the queue, they can be printed again later.

 

Windows 10

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers 

Double-Click on your Printer

Double-Click on See What's Printing

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

Windows 11

Settings > (Bluetooth & devices) > Printers & scanners > Select Printer >

Open Print Queue

OR

More devices and printers settings

Double-Click on Printer

Double-Click on See What's Printing

--------------------------------------------------

 

Reprint your Job

 

 

Windows 10 / Windows 11 "See what's printing"

Single-Left-Click on a job that you want to reprint to highlight that entry

Right-Click on the highlighted job > Restart

 

Windows 11 "Open Print Queue"

Left-Click on the job to be reprinted > Select Restart

 

 

IMPORTANT

Removing / Reinstalling the printer software resets this option back to default (printed document list is not saved).
