    print queue in Windows 10 in wrong order


    I am using Windows 10 Home Version 1903 on HP Envy laptop, 64 bit.


    I am trying to print PDFs (or Word documents) from File Explorer, in order by file name. They are sorted by name (for simplicity's sake, let's call them Page 1, Page 2, etc.). I highlight pages 1 to 15, right-click and select print. They are sent to the print queue of my default printer (HP). When I examine the print queue, they are all out of order, and when I print them they are also out of order. When I try the same thing with another printer (Canon), the same happens. The same also happens with Word documents. How is it possible to send multiple highlighted files to a printer in the order in which they are sorted? I have a folder which contains up to 100 files, all sorted in the way I'd like them printed, but I don't want to have to highlight each one in turn, right click, then select print. I understand that I am limited to printing 15 at a time, and both my printers are configured to print first-to-last.


    Thanks

    :)

    Print Queue Personality Configuration

    I've created many plot/print queues for the convenience of our users.

    • Print queue personality is set on the Print Server
    • Personality settings include preset - orientation, paper size (A, B C, D, E), color/B&W, etc.
    With these preset personality settings, my users don't have to go through the print configuration steps for all the different types of documents they print.

    They simply select the queue and print.

    Some time a while ago, the personality settings for each print queue saved on my print server are no longer the default print queue setting on the users machine after they select the print queue.

    Is there some way I can automatically "push" the print queue personality settings to every client who uses the queues?

    Clients - W7 & W10

    Print Server OS - Server 2012

    Applications used - MS Office Suite, MicroStation, BentleyView, Bluebeam, G Technology Suite

  3. Error: "Print Queue is full" on Windows 10

    Hi Rob,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being part of Windows 10.

    I understand that you are unable to access the printer under desktop after upgrading to Windows 10 with error: Print queue is full, we will help you with this issue.

    Try the below troubleshooting steps on desktop device and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to check the status of
    Print Spooler service and check.

    Print Spooler service, spools print service and handles interactions with the printer.
    If you turn off this service you won’t be able to print or see your printer.

    Steps:

    • Press Windows + R to open Run command, type
      Services.msc and press Enter.
    • Search for Printer Spooler service, right click on it and
      Start the service.
    • Also, set the Startup type to Automatic.
    • Now check if you are able to install the driver.

    Step 2: I suggest you to run Printer troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + X, click on Control Panel, select
      Category and then select Large or Small icons.
    • Click on Troubleshooting and click on
      View all in the left pane.
    • Select Printer and follow on-screen instructions.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.

    print queue in Windows 10 in wrong order

    Automatically show print queue?


    Hi Brink,

    Thanks for the suggestion as I am already using the notification area icon to bring up the queue. I also saw the other thread about making a shortcut for the queue and may give that try.

    But I would still like to have the queue popup automatically when a print job is started. So if there are any other suggestions I would welcome them!

    Thanks,
    Gerry
