I am not able to print from either the program I am using (Adobe Acrobat) or from inside HP Smart.  The diagnosis and fix results say the printer is online but ``Print Queue issue is not fixed''  Print jobs are just sitting in the queue.

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

 

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

 

 

Print Queue / Print Service Reset

 

Print and Scan Doctor

 

The Doctor can help with several issues, including driver, connection, and "jobs stuck in the queue".

It turns out the issue was software, but it required me to update the bios on my machine.  Once I did that and rebotted, I seemed to be in good shape.
