I send a print job to the printer wirelessly and its only one copy to be printed. After it prints there is a pause and a printer error message pops up. I go into the print job screen and it will show the print job still in the queue. I try to clear it out and it takes for ever for it to clear or cancel. Is there an issue with this printer on Windows 10? I think i tried to reload the driver in an effort to clear the problem but it is still doing it. Any suggestions?

Hi @Tover,
Good Day. Thanks for taking an interest in the HP support forums. I reviewed the case where the print job is getting stuck. I will be really glad to assist you here. 🙂
You are an important HP customer and it is a genuine pleasure to share this platform with you.:)
- Did this happen after a recent software or windows 10 update?
- Did you bypass power strips and connect the printer directly to the wall outlet?
