Windows 10: The old one had an icon for the HP Printer and another for the print Queue

I just replaced my computer. The old one had an icon for the HP Printer and another for the print Queue. I can't find them.

Printer icons in print dialog boxes

After I upgraded my HP LaserJet printer two icons for the printer now appear in the print dialog boxes-a new one and an old one. Of course, you can’t print to the old one, but some of my programs default to the old one HP informs me this is a Windows 10
issue since the printer performs well.

When I check Printing Preferences for the printer, two printers appear in the drop down menu: the old one and the new one. Print Server Property lists only one driver.

How can I remove all instances of the old printer from print dialog boxes?

 

The print queue is full windows 10

I had this same thing happen to me.

When I tried to print I would get an error saying that the print queue was full. There were no files in the print queue. There were also no printers listed in 'Devices and Printers.'

No need to reformat! Here's how I fixed mine:

I noticed that If I opened a print dialogue, the printers were listed.

• Open Print Dialog from an app (i.e. Notepad)
• Right Click on a printer and select Printer Properties
• Open Ports tab
• Change port to 'file.'
• Delete Port
  • If you get an error that the resource is in use:
    • Open the other printer properties pages
    • Change the other printers to 'file'
    • Delete ports
  • 
    As you delete ports, you will see the print queues repopulate into device manager as well as printers should now show up in 'Devices and Printers."
    
• 
  Remake the needed Ports.
  

In my case they were all HP TCP/IP Ports.
