I have Windows 10. I am unable to print a .pdf document. In the print box on the Status line it states: "Error; Pending Deletion; 2 documents waiting. " I can't find them anywhere. I can print e-mails and Word documents, however. I've gone to the Devices and Printers and looked at "what's printing", but there is nothing there.

Hi,
Welcome to HP Support Forum. I think you need to remove the queue. Please try:
hold down the Windows key and press R.
from the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter.
if the machine asks for Admin you have to accept this,
look down to the print spooler service, right click it and select properties
click on the Stop button,
browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\printers or C:\Windows\System\Spool\printers (this may be hidden)
delete the job inside this folder
reboot the machine
Regards.
