Hi

Thanks for using FIxYa. Please turn the printer off and then cancel all the print queues pending in the bottom toolbar by double clicking on the printer logo if you want to delete all the pending printing files. Now turn the printer on. If you do not want to cancel all the printing jobs then you can double click on the printer logo showing in the right side of the bottom tool bar and then right click on the printing jobs pending for printings then click on restart printing. Issue will be resolved and it will not show ‘paused status’.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.


Thanks

Open Printer jobs and delete any print jobs pending. Restart Computer.

Otherwise, uninstall all printer software, disconnect printer, restart pc. resinstall software

plz delete the printing jobs pending from the printer job ques.

Try unplugging the USB cable from the back of the computer, not from the back off the printer. Also, try deleting the printer from/at the printer/fax page and restarting your computer so it will reinstall. In either case, when checking the printer/fax folder, make sure there is nothing pending printing. If there is, click on delete all pending printing jobs. If there is a print job pending and you can not cancell/delete this job, then you must delete the printer icon and restart your computer. Aloha!

Has your printer been printing before and then stopped?
Check your connections,make sure the printer is on and ready, Makesure the computer can see the printer.
Try deleting all jobs that are waiting by clicking start,printers and faxes,your printer.
I hope this helps.

delete all pending jobs on your system.click on start, then printer and faxes, double-click on the printer and then delete all the pending jobs.

You might need to download the Vista print driver for your printer.
