    Print delay


    This has been posted before but there is no sign of a solution.


    In Windows 10 I print a file. Everything OK


    I then try to print another file but there is a long delay of several minutes before it prints. That is because the first print job is still in the print queue showing as printing.


    This issue has been reported many times over several years but no solution from Microsoft.


    It is, very clearly, a Microsoft Windows 10 issue. Reports include a range of different printers so blaming something else does not convince me.

    :)

    Printing stopped with November upgrade

    Hey Prestonpdx,

    I would suggest you check if the print spooler is running. Start/Stop print spooler service. Follow the steps below.


    • Press Windows key + R, type services.msc
      and press Enter.

    • From the list, locate Print Spooler service.

    • Double click on the service and select Stop.

    • Restart the computer, repeat step 1&2.

    • Double click on the service and check if the service is started.
    Get back to us with the updated status, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
