  1. Local Downlevel Document Windows 10 Home


    Hi


    I have a computer running Windows 10 Home edition and trying to print to a HP LaserJet Printer over a Network. All was fine until a couple of weeks ago (no idea what happened) the printer seemed to have uninstalled itself. I have re-installed, shared the printer, but just one computer won't print, when I open the queue it has 'local downlevel document', what is this and how do I get rid of it?


    Thank you

    :)

    How do I get rid of a local downlevel document that is holding up my printing queue in Windows 10?

    Hi,

    Kindly answer the question below for us to better assist you with your concern:

    • When did the issue start?
    • Were there any changes made on your computer before encountering the issue?
    • Aside from restarting the Print spooler and deleting the files inside the spool folder, what other troubleshooting steps you've done so far?
    • Are you receiving any error messages when printing a document or when deleting the "local downlevel document" in the print queue?
    • Does the issue occurs when you print using different applications?
    We'll be waiting for your response.

    How do I get rid of a local downlevel document that is holding up my printing queue in Windows 10?

    Have been running Windows 10 for years now without a hitch right up until
    this morning (5/11/17)
    . Three MS updates were installed overnight. I logged in
    this morning (5/11/17) and tried to print a document to a networked printer (same way I have for years) and nothing happened. Checked the queue and a file called "local downlevel document" shows up before the document I printed. I cannot
    delete the document. I logged off, logged on as Administrator, stopped the spooler, emptied the c:\windows\system32\spool=printers folder then restarted the spooler. I then printed a test document with no problem. But when I logged in as a user (with administrative
    powers), and tried to print, the local downlevel document showed up again. I have researched this and see a solution for Windows 7 and Vista and earlier versions of Windows but no solution for Windows 10. Since I first posted this I am now unable to connect
    to the network printers. I am unable to print from any application that I have tried, including MS Office products and Adobe Acrobat Pro. No error messages of any kind are given. Any suggestions?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
