    Printing anything creates 0 bit file


    I have this very frustrating problem which started in September 2021.I cannot print anything from any source, with any device.If I try to print to pdf it creates 0 bit file. If I try to print with printer canon, epson, etc you name it I've tried it. the file flashes in the printing que and disappears immediately and the printer naturally doesn't do anything. From this behavior I have figured out I might be wrong, that something in the printing process corrupts the file. I have tried to re-install printer spoolers, checked malwares&viruses, installed numerous updates, re-installed print

    Occasionally "Microsoft print to pdf" creates empty files

    Have already done all of the steps suggested in that link.
    The problem only happens occasionally; maybe two or three times a day.
    Happening on several PC's, the only way to catch it before it goes to customers is the size of the file created.
    If it is 0 or 1kb, it's a blank document.
    Microsoft Print to pdf was working fine until about two weeks ago.
    Thank You

    The printer now is on ready mode
    I configure the hold to 60 minutes.
    After that I tried to print a small text but didn't work
    The printer usually shows on lcd that is recivieng data,
    and today in the beginning of this problem until now didn't show that message.
