Method 2: Removing the task of the queue

It is likely that the document placed in the stamp queue was not started due to the problems arising or unforeseen disabling the printer. Then this task will receive the error status and will not allow printing other files. Therefore, it will be necessary to delete it yourself, and then re-start printing.

Method 4: Printer output from an offline regime

If the printer's job was discontinued in an unforeseen moment, for example, if it is emerging, the next launch may be accompanied by automatic translation into the autonomous mode of operation. Then all the documents that will be queued are not printed if the device does not translate into active mode yourself. To do this, open the print queue section, in the "Printer" menu, remove the checkbox from the "Work Autonomously" item.

After that, delete the task out of the queue and add it there again. If the problem really consisted in this mode of operation, now printing will begin in normal mode.

Printing components included in the standard set of operating system functions are responsible for normal interaction with the printer. If these components are disabled, problems with the processing of documents can begin. Therefore, it is necessary to check their status manually and need to include what is happening:

2. Go to the "Applications" section by clicking on its tile.



3. After the list of installed programs, there is a "Related Settings" block, where you click on the "Programs and Components" link.



4. A separate software management window is displayed, in which you are interested in the "Enable or Disable Windows Components" section.



5. In the list of components, find "Printing and Document Services" and activate the catalog, marking it with a black marker.



6. Next, deploy this directory and mark all the subfolders checkboxes.

Method 6: Change User Account

If the "Driver is not available" appears when placing a document in the queue or turning on the printer, most likely, the account used is not right in order to interact with the device. It will be necessary to change the one that the "Administrator" status is assigned. If you do not know how to do this, please contact individual manuals on our website below.
