[Gordie4]

Hp Photosmart B110. Prints great but every job I send after it is preinted the job atays in the queue and stops the next job. I have to reset using the Print & Scan Doctor to clear the queue, then send the next job. The last job always prints when I first  switch the printer on .

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

The printer responds to whatever is in the queue.

If the last job printed is still in the queue, the printer prints that job when the printer is switched on.

Windows manages the printer queue.

The print and scan doctor restarts the print services (managed by Windows).

The doctor may not - and cannot - fix a condition in Windows that might cause ongoing problems with Print Services (queue manager).

What to do?

Run Windows Update > Check for Updates to ensure Updates are both current and installed.

Clear the queue folder, rebuild, and reset / restart Print Services

The following content explains

and

How to rebuild / reset Print Services > Section Print Queue / Print Service Reset

Cancel Print Job

On those printers where the option is supported,

If you catch the job quickly enough, print jobs can normally be cancelled on the printer. 

The “cancel” button might be labeled as such or might present as a red X on the printer control screen.

NOTE:  Where supported at all, it is normal for the “X” to show on the control panel only briefly.

What happens next?

Once the job is turned over to the print service,

Cancel the job in the print queue on the computer

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers

Double-Left-Click on your printer icon

See what’s printing

Click (or Right-Click) on the job > Cancel

Exact wording varies.

OR

Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners > Click Open queue

Click (or Right-Click) on the job > Cancel

OR

Settings > Devices > Right-Click Printers & Scanners > Pin to Start

Then

Windows key > find the newly PINNED application tile Printers & Scanners

Move the application tile to a Tile Group that is easy to see and open quickly

Print Queue / Print Service Reset

After a print job has been submitted, it is very quickly turned over the Windows Print Services for completion.

When a job is "stuck in the queue", it is sometimes due to Print Services having hung, become stuck, or otherwise failing to properly complete the job.

First, check that Windows Update is not in need to installing updates.
