"Printer's work is suspended": what to do

Winners of printers of various models periodically face the display of the notification that the printer's job has been suspended. This is due to it from the network, which is called by software or hardware failures. Today we would like to demonstrate ways to solve this problem, describing in detail each of them.

We solve the problem "Printer's work is suspended"

As mentioned above, the problem under consideration is related to the temporary disconnection of the device from the computer network. Therefore, first of all, we recommend reloading the computer yourself and check the connected USB cable. It should sit tightly in the connector and not have signs of external damage. If such actions did not bring any result, read the guidelines below.

Method 1: Self Connecting Printer to Network

The operation of the printing devices will be suspended when switching to offline mode. If the case is not in the cable used, you will need to manually disable this mode, in different versions of the Windows operating system this is done in your own way - through the "Parameters" or "Control Panel" menu. Let's consider the first option.

Option 1: "Parameters"

The menu with collecting various tools and settings called "Parameters" appeared in Windows 10 and allows users to more comfortably edit the necessary tools, including printers. The transition to work with the necessary equipment is happening:

1. Open the "Start" and go to the specified menu click on the button in the form of a gear.



2. In the list, find the category "Devices".



3. Through the panel on the left, move to the "Printers and Scanners" section



4. Click the LKM to the printer that you want to output from the autonomous mode.



5. After displaying three buttons, click on the "Open Quality".



6. Click on the "Printer" pop-up menu.



7. In the list that appears, remove the checkbox from the "Work Autonomously" item.

After the implementation of these actions, printing should automatically continue if you have not previously cleaned the queue. Wishing not to print after connecting the printer, you need to pre-clear the queue.

Option 2: "Control Panel"

Unfortunately, the owners of earlier versions of Windows are not able to use the above menu, so they will have to refer to an older classic application called "Control Panel". The operation has been produced there looks like:

1. Open "Start" and go to "Control Panel".



2. Watch out the category "Devices and Printers" and click on it twice LX.



3. Select the desired printer and click on it twice the LCM to open the properties menu.



4. Here, by analogy with the last instruction, you will need to remove a tick with "working autonomously".

Method 1 will be as efficient in the situation when the problem is temporary and is associated with small system or hardware failures. Otherwise, no effect on the implementation of such actions will not be either the problem will arise again. Because all those who did not come up with the considered option, we advise you to get acquainted with the following methods.

Method 2: Cleaning the print queue

Above, we have already mentioned print cleaning, but in the event that it was an optional measure that did not bring any effect when correcting the problem. However, situations occur when the printer goes into the offline regime is precisely due to the impossibility of printing sent documents. Then it will be necessary to completely clear the queue and re-add all the necessary files. Expanded instructions for the implementation of this operation can be found below.

Method 3: Defragment Hard Disk

Now it is not yet all users in use are powerful computers that do without problems copier with the processing of any number of information, which is why the service stops or incorrect data processing occur. If the problem under consideration occurs periodically, it is recommended to try to increase the speed of processing files, namely, to defragment the disk. Only after the successful completion of this process, you can restart the PC, connect the printing device and check the correctness of its operation.

Today you have been familiar with the three available problems of solving the problem with the suspension of the printer. As you can see, it can be connected with different factors, but appears due to hardware problems, for example, failure of the control board or its specific parts. In these situations, it will not be possible to solve this difficulty in any way, you need to contact a specialized service center.
