minutes. Join Now I have several users around the office with different HP (local) printers that are experiencing the same issue. Any time they send something to their printer it goes straight to paused (and they have printer paused and won't print to manually hit resume each time). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers and software and made sure they are all up to date. I've ensured the printer spool service is up and running and starting automatically. Please help!
