Documents get stuck in the printer queue and I have to restart so that they print

often, when I try to print a document or web page, or anything, the document will get stuck in the queue for the printer.  the printer will tell me 1 post pending but nothing prints.  I have to restart my computer to print the document.

No answers so I'll try to help. I don't have a printer for many years. A practical tool, I used to use repeatedly put my printer icon on my desktop or in the taskbar. Try it! Go to Control Panel, open Printers and faxes, right click on your printer and choose Create shortcut and click Yes. Once on your desktop then drag it to the taskbar when you have a page open it will be more accessible. Open it and click on the printer and click Cancel all documents. From what I remember when the print queue of the printer is over load it won't print and clicking on cancel all documents throws to the queue. Check the menu options to set your preferences. I hope this helps!

    Hi Timmsey,

    -You are able to boot to the desktop?

    The issue may be caused if you have changed the hardware and software of the computer settings.

    Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc.) except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then download software updated driver for the device.

    drivers.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  • My screen goes black, but is still on. My computer shuts down everything he does and I have to restart so that it become operational.

    I said the video card is corrupted or is overheating.
    The screen goes black randomly. Sometimes 2 minutes playing or until hours later. Sometimes it will not.

    Connect the computer to another monitor. If the problems are gone, replace the original monitor. If the problems persist, then you have hardware problems on your computer. You can troubleshoot the hardware yourself:

If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

    My HP 500 CPS still print fine but when I try to scan something it fails. I turn on my computer and printer off a few times and it will scan. I thought it was a driver issue first of all them perhaps the cable. It has been getting worse and now it copies. I disconnect from the computer and try to copy it gets stuck on the warm up and then gives me the same error SCANNER FAILURE TURN OFF THEN ON. The light is on and it loads paper acts as a heat sensor is bad. I have a good rear electronic on the ground. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction. I really like this old printer and I am ready to spend time fixing it.

    Thank you

    Want to thank those who took the time to read my problem. I FIXED IT. On a forum someone talked about the problem of warming up and I realized that the only thing that needs time to prepare would be the light of the scanner. I disassembled the scanner Assembly cleaned the mirrors and that fixed it! Has been and still is a good SPC. In order to reduce the cost, I filled my cartridges.

    I gave myself another problem. I uninstalled the drivers several times trying to solve the problem of the printer. Now I have additional drivers in device for printers 1284,4 Add-in Manager. No matter what I do XP reinstalls them. A few years I had back get a program installed at HP to clean the registry file so that I could do a clean install of my HP PSC 500 windows drivers. Now I can't find it. guess I didn't save TI - DAM! Been looking on the web site of HP have yet found. - PROGRAMME of INSTALLATION of ANY BODY GOT A LINK FOR HP.

  • Everything I print gets stuck in the queue, but the document is printed

    ORIGINAL TITLE: Spooler

    I installed a printer on a pc windows 7 64. Everything I print gets stuck in the queue, but the document is printed. The printer is on the network, I tried to restart the spooler and erased the record of the spooler, but perisisted of the question, given that the document gets stuck, no other agency will be able to print, remove the paper and print again to print but the file gets stuck again on the queue. I tried to change the IP address, but the same thing happened. Can someone help me?

    Hi, Omorguz,

    Printer brand and model, if you please.

    Start > run > type services.msc

    Press enter

    Scroll down to print spooler

    Select stop

    Let Windows stop the spooler

    Control Panel > printers and Faxes folder

    Right-click on the printer icon, then select open

    If you see pending orders in the queue, select the

    Click file > cancel all Documents

    If a job shows the deletion, but never finished, open the command prompt window

    Start > run > type cmd

    Press Ok

    Enter Net Stop Spooler

    Press enter

    Wait for the DOS window opens and is

    Open the command prompt window

    Type Net Start Spooler

    Press enter

    If that does not cancel the print job:

    Your directory of spools Windows XP is located at

    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS

    It will usually contain files like these:

    FP00008
    FP00008. SHD

    There are two files for each remaining print job.  Just delete these and restart the computer.  Your queue should now be provisioned.

    If you are printing over a network, and the queue is not clear after the above steps:

    Go to the computer that has the shared printer connected and perform steps 1 & 2 above.

    If this does not work, then go to the computer when he was sent to the printing of the task and perform the steps 1 & 2 on this computer.

    Run chkdsk

    Start > run > type CMD

    Press Ok

    Type C: chkdsk/r/f

    Press enter

    You will receive a message re: volume must be locked and you want to start scanning reboot?  Press y and press enter

    Type Exit to close the CMD window

    Restart the computer for the scan at startup

    This will check the integrity of your data on the hard drive of computer as well as find and fix errors that could corrupt your data or program files.

    I even recommend that you uninstall the printer and when you are done uninstalling, restart computer.

  • Printing problems with XP and Lexmark-documents are just stuck in the print queue

    Original title: printing problems with XP and Lexmark

    Until yesterday, I was able to print OK using Windows XP and a Lexmark Printer series 3500-4500 with wireless capabilities.  Reported network test wireless (on printer) and report indicates that there are no reported problem, also did the diagnostic test and which shows no problem either.  I can't print and documents are just stuck in the print queue - please can someone help, it drives me crazy because it's probably a very simple solution.

    I guess you do not have all of the error messages.

    It is possible that comes to mind that your printer has received a new IP address of your router (this could easily happen if you have several computers and other devices that connect to your wireless network).

    Find the IP address of the printer of his network diagnostic page.
    Click Start > printers and faxes, right-click the printer and select Properties
    Select the Ports tab, then click on the button "Configure Port" (be careful NOT to click anywhere in the list of ports)
    Make sure that the IP address in 'Port settings' is identical to that shown on the diagnosis of your network printer page.

    To avoid this problem in the future, you must configure the printer to have a static IP address.  See your printer User Guide for instructions.

    Choose an appropriate subnet address (i.e., has the first 3 groups of numbers the same as the other addresses in your network) but who is not in the range of addresses assigned by the DHCP server on your router.  See the User Guide of your router for more details.

  • Got paper stuck in the printer and now will only print proofs. How to reset the printer

    Got paper stuck in the printer and now will only print proofs. How to reset the printer

    It looks like you may have some saved jobs in your queue that need to be removed.

    Here's how:

    To clear the print queue, stop the print spooler service and delete all the jobs/print pending.
       
    You cannot delete all print jobs in the queue so that the Print Spooler Service is running.
          
    To stop the Print Spooler Service, click Start, run and enter in the box:
           
    services.msc
           
    Click OK to open the Services Applet.
           
    Locate the Print Spooler Service, right click and choose 'Properties' and then click on the "Stop" button to stop the Print Spooler Service is running.
       
    The option "Startup Type" of Service properties print spooler is usually set to "Automatic" (which is now a good time to check it out).
       
    If the "Startup type" is not set to "Automatic", set the "Startup type" to "Automatic" If that is your desire (which now is the time to check it out).

    Do not try to start or restart the Print Spooler Service immediately.  You must remove all print jobs backed up first...
       
    Then, delete all updates pending upward and forward to printing from XP.  If they do not print before, you will need to send the to the printer again.
       
    Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
       
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
           
    Delete all the print jobs in queue (select and delete all the files) in the folder if the folder is without waiting for print jobs.  The folder must be empty when you are finished.
           
    Reboot your system and check the Print Spooler Service again to make sure the Print Spooler Service restarts automatically restart (given that the startup type is set to automatic).
       
    After the reboot, check again the Spooler Service for printing and the 'Status' column for the print spooler must be read "started."

    Submit new failure of print jobs.
