Welcome to the HP English Community --
Sometimes problems of this type are due to windows Print Services (printer queue) having been corrupted.
===========================================
Windows - Print Queue / Print Service Reset
- In most cases, after a print job has been accepted, it is turned over the Windows Print Services for completion.
- When a job is "stuck in the queue", it is sometimes because Print Services is stuck or otherwise “broken”.
- If the job is accepted and quickly disappears, it is perhaps the result of incorrect Temp folder permissions.
