Getting a printout from your PC is the easiest job. However, it can become tedious if you encounter the \u201cPrint job is stuck in a queue\u201d error. When you give the print command, the task is scheduled in a series, forming a queue. When it gets stuck, or the printing is unsuccessful, the upcoming prints are put on hold as there is a Print Job Stuck in the Queue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You cannot print anything from your PC unless the queue is cleared. So, if you are giving the print command but it is not responding or not working, chances are that there are pending print jobs that must be cleared first. Otherwise, you cannot use the printer at any cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
