To fix a printer, you can restart the device, check the connection, configure the default settings, run a troubleshooter, reset the printer spooler, and reinstall the printer.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Restart printer method\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Although it might be obvious, it&#8217;s easy to forget that turning off, unplugging the power cord from the printer, and turning the peripheral back online can resolve the most common issues. For example, if Windows 11 is not detecting the USB printer, the printer suddenly starts having issues, or the device is unavailable.<\/p>\n<p>Once the printer restarts, you can try to print again. If the printer is still not working, restart your computer and try again. If the printer doesn&#8217;t respond, continue with another troubleshooting method.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Check connection method\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a USB printer, ensure the data cable is properly connected to the printer and computer. You can try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable. Also, you may want to try a different USB port on the device.<\/p>\n<p>If this is a wireless printer, ensure that the wireless functionality is turned on and working. You can also try to run the wireless connectivity test from the printer. Typically, the printer will have a blue wireless icon indicating the connection. You may need to check your device manufacturer for more specific details.<\/p>\n<p>If you have problems with other wireless devices, you may need to restart the router or access point to fix the connectivity issue.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Configure default printer method<\/h3>\n<p>It could also happen that you have multiple printers installed on the computer and are sending the print job to the default printer, which is unavailable at that specific location.<\/p>\n<p>You can quickly fix this problem by selecting the correct device when printing or changing the default printer settings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To change the default printer settings on Windows 11, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong> on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>Bluetooth &amp; devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Printers &amp; scanners<\/strong> page.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-176462\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/windows-11-printers-scanners-open.webp?resize=827%2C412&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Printers &amp; scanners\" width=\"827\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/windows-11-printers-scanners-open.webp?w=905&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 905w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/windows-11-printers-scanners-open.webp?resize=300%2C150&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/windows-11-printers-scanners-open.webp?resize=150%2C75&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Turn off the <strong>&#8220;Let Windows manage my default printer&#8221;<\/strong> toggle switch under the &#8220;Printer preferences&#8221; section.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-176463\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/disable-windows-manage-default-printer.webp?resize=827%2C412&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Disable Windows automatic default printer\" width=\"827\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/disable-windows-manage-default-printer.webp?w=905&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 905w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/disable-windows-manage-default-printer.webp?resize=300%2C150&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/disable-windows-manage-default-printer.webp?resize=150%2C75&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Select the printer from the list.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>&#8220;Set as default&#8221;<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-176464\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/windows-11-printer-set-default.webp?resize=827%2C412&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Change default printer\" width=\"827\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/windows-11-printer-set-default.webp?w=905&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 905w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/windows-11-printer-set-default.webp?resize=300%2C150&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/windows-11-printer-set-default.webp?resize=150%2C75&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once you complete the steps, you can try to print again.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you already sent a print job to the wrong device, you may also need to open the queue and cancel any pending jobs before printing to the correct printer.<\/p>\n<p>You can cancel the print job\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">by going to\u00a0<strong>Settings<\/strong>\u00a0&gt;\u00a0<strong>Bluetooth &amp; devices<\/strong>\u00a0&gt;\u00a0<strong>Printers &amp; scanners<\/strong>\u00a0&gt; (your) printer &gt;\u00a0<strong>Open print queue<\/strong>, right-clicking the job, and selecting<\/span> the <strong>&#8220;Cancel&#8221; <\/strong>option.<\/p>\n<h3>4.

Reset printer spooler method<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most common issues while printing is a document getting stuck in the queue and trying to cancel the job won&#8217;t work. If this happens, the problem is likely to be with the &#8220;print spooler,&#8221; which is the service that sends the printing jobs to the printer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To fix the print spooler service to continue printing on Windows 11, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Start<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Search for <strong>services.msc<\/strong> and click the top result to open the\u00a0<strong>Services <\/strong>console.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Right-click the <strong>Print Spooler<\/strong> service and select the <strong>Properties<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-148660\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/print-spooler-service-properties.webp?resize=794%2C426&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Print Spooler service properties\" width=\"794\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/print-spooler-service-properties.webp?w=794&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 794w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/print-spooler-service-properties.webp?resize=300%2C161&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/print-spooler-service-properties.webp?resize=150%2C80&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>General<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Stop<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-148658\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/stop-print-spooler-service-windows-11.webp?resize=406%2C468&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Stop Print Spooler service\" width=\"406\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/stop-print-spooler-service-windows-11.webp?w=406&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 406w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/stop-print-spooler-service-windows-11.webp?resize=260%2C300&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 260w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/stop-print-spooler-service-windows-11.webp?resize=130%2C150&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Use the <strong>&#8220;Windows key + R&#8221;<\/strong> keyboard shortcut to open the <strong>Run<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Type the following path to access the <strong>&#8220;printers&#8221;<\/strong> folder and press <strong>Enter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<pre>C:\\Windows\\System32\\spool\\printers<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Continue <\/strong>button (if applicable).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Select everything in the &#8220;<strong>printers&#8221;<\/strong> folder (<strong>Ctrl + A <\/strong>keyboard shortcut) and hit the <strong>Delete<\/strong> button to remove the contents.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-148659\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/delete-spool-printers-folder-files.webp?resize=796%2C346&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Delete printers folder contents\" width=\"796\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/delete-spool-printers-folder-files.webp?w=796&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 796w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/delete-spool-printers-folder-files.webp?resize=300%2C130&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/delete-spool-printers-folder-files.webp?resize=150%2C65&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>General <\/strong>tab on the &#8220;Printer Spooler Properties&#8221;
