Hi @Chantz1,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer is stuck in the print queue and will not print, here are some steps to resolve the issue.

Clear the Print Queue:

• Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog, type services.msc, and press Enter.
• Scroll down to find Print Spooler, right-click it, and select Stop.
• Open File Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS.
• Delete all files in this folder to clear the print queue.
• Return to the Services window, right-click Print Spooler again, and select Start.

Restart the Printer:

• Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source for 1-2 minutes.
• Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Update or Reinstall Printer Drivers:

• Go to the HP Support website, find your printer model, and download the latest drivers.
• Uninstall the current printer driver from Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
• Reinstall the downloaded driver and set up the printer again.

Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor:

• HP provides a tool called HP Print and Scan Doctor that can automatically diagnose and fix printing issues.
• Download and run it from the HP website and follow the prompts.

Check Printer Connection:

• Ensure the printer is properly connected to your computer or network.
• If it’s a wireless printer, try reconnecting it to your WiFi network.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
