How To Fix Printer Problems in Windows XP, 7, 8.1, 10?

People using Windows computers often run into countless printer problems that tend to hinder office work productivity. Topping the list of printer problems in Windows often is the OS sending a file or a set of files to be printed to a printer other than the one thought to have been configured earlier in the PC. If somebody changes the default printer in Windows, the print job would go to a printer that is unknown to the user.

In case the print queue in another system has more print jobs that delay network printing, users need to cancel the pending job before someone adds another printing task that may slow down the process further. This could happen due to the default settings or if somebody changes the default printer while taking a printout from the software that allows it.

Regardless of the reason for that, users should never turn off the printer to stop the print job in the queue since that would make the printer to resume from the point it has paused upon a restart. That is why one should clear the pending tasks in the print queue to avoid bottlenecks in the sequential printing process.

There is an option in Windows that lets the user manage a default printer. If that option is enabled by the user, the OS will set a recently used printer as the default one. By disabling that particular option, a user can take printouts on a printer of their preference going forward.
