Hello,
I have encountered problem with my HP DEskjet 1112 printer. Every time I click Print, the Spooling status is Deleting before it is printed. I am using Dell Inspiron laptop. I am using this HP printer for 6 months and I don't have problem. Just recently, when i tried to print something. I wondered why my HP printer is not responding. I checked the Printing Status - I found out that the statu is DELETING before it is printed.
So I tried my other laptop (HP laptop) to print using the same printer HP deskjet 1112, and I did not encounter problem, its get printed.
I perfomed uninstalling/re-installing the driver, updates software, and I called HP support I paid for 19.99+tax and they were not able to fix the problem. I was told to call DELL customer service to fix the problem because it seems the problem is NOT on the HP Printer but on the Operating System.
It was frustrated actually with HP Indian speaking customer service, I felt like robbing on you though its small amount. I hope somes expert in this community could help me to solve this problem. Thank you in advance for your great help.

7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”)
8.) Click on the "Drivers" tab
9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom

Hi, Thank you for your reply.
I did all the steps that you suggested 1-15, but still the problem exists.
I am using this HP Deskjet 1112 for 1 year. After my warranty expired I encountered this problem, I don't have problem printing before.
I remembered Windows 10 updated my Dell Laptop computer OS 3 weeks ago. I don't know if that causes the problem.
But why my HP Laptop having Windows 10 has no problem printing with HP Deskjet 1112. Only my Dell laptop has problem, couldnt print, get DELETED before it is printed.
Thank you in advance for your help.
