Windows 10: How to automatically clear printer queue

Good afternoon,I'm having an issue with Windows 10 printer spooler. The printer queue freezes very often and the only way to print again is to clear everytime the queue.I'm aware of the methods to clear the queue, even with a .bat file that stops the spooler, clear the queue and then restart the spooler. The question is that if this can be done automatically by the system everytime a printer queue is blocked. Ideally this should be the process:1. a number of prints are sent to the printer;2. for some reason, the printer queue blocks and it is not possible to send any print to the printer anymo

To check if there is a corruption on your Print Queue, try manually clearing the Print Queue

Click your Start Button, then just type cmd

On the resulting list, right-click “Command Prompt” and select “Run as administrator“

Paste the following commands into Command Prompt, one at a time and press Enter after each one:

net stop spooler

del %systemroot%\System32\spool\printers\* /Q

net start spooler

The print queue on your Windows should now be cleared.

Close Command Prompt

If that does not resolve the Print Queue behavior, go to the support page for your printer on the manufacturers website, then from there, download and install the recommended drivers and associated software . . .

Printer Queue will not clear - Windows 10

I am using an HP Wireless printer and the printer queue will get stuck from time to time. It won't clear. This is causing a loss of productivity and business. I have to stop the services, delete the printer queue, delete items from the C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS folder.

Then restart my computer.

What do I need to do to get this to work smoothly?
