My printer has stopped printing!

When I try and use my printer it tells me I have a document pending, but won't print it.

I have tried to delete the item to start again but nothing happens.

I really need my printer today for Dh's work, can anyone tell me how to get things going again??

TIA

Is it wireless or plugged in?

Unplug it, hit it?

Have you got another printer installed too?

perhaps its set to print on the one you arent using- check your settings.

Not that this happened to me and I bought another printer mind

is everything plugged in right?? try discarding that copy and try again?
maybe load his work onto a memory stick and print at school?

Ring the manufacturers or google it -that might help?

Do you have more than one account on the computer? You may find it won't let you delete a document that was sent from the other account, if so try logging on as the other person.

Have you tried rebooting?

Thanks everyone!

The problem seemed to rectify itself

I have had it switched off for a while, maybe that cleared it?

Oh well, its working now!

Can I just butt in here if anyone's still in printing mode?

is my printer only printing a line or two? Not the whole text.

...anyone answer that?

Or should I start my own thread...? (too lazy really
