Your printer is ready but nothing prints
When your printer shows as ready but prints nothing, one stuck print job is almost always blocking everything behind it. Clearing that job unblocks the whole queue.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Clicking Print over and over when the printer isn't responding — this just adds more stuck jobs to the pile
- Uninstalling the printer driver — the connection is working, the queue is just blocked
- Pulling paper out of the printer without a real jam message — let the printer tell you when there's actually a problem
Signs you need professional help
- If jobs remain in the queue even after restarting the Print Spooler
- If the queue clears but the test page still won't print
- If this happens every time you print
