Samsung Printer Job Stuck in Queue

If the Samsung printer job stuck in queue system is jammed and holding up your Samsung printer task, this might cause several frustrating situations. This typically occurs when printers begin to experience delays in processing various print jobs. There might be several reasons why this happens; this includes communication failure, software failure, or a Samsung printer paper feed problem. A quick fix when this happens would be to remove the jammed print task that is holding up the queuing system. If this does not solve the problem, turning off and turning on the Samsung printer and computer might just solve the entire Samsung printer printing problem.
 

How to Clear Samsung Printer Queue

When the Samsung printer queue gets stuck, it can prevent you from printing any new documents. Use these easy steps to resolve the problem:

1. Cancel the Print Job

To start, you need to cancel the stuck print job. Open the 'Devices and Printers' section on your laptop or computer. Find your Samsung printer, right-click it, and choose "See What’s Printing." If a document is stuck in the queue, right-click on the job and select "Cancel." If you have several print jobs in the queue, you can cancel them all at once by selecting “Cancel All Documents.”

2. Restart the Printer

If canceling the job didn’t work, try restarting the printer. Switch it off and then unplug it for a few seconds. Use these easy steps to resolve the problem. This can help reset the printer’s memory and clear temporary issues that could be causing the queue problem.

3. Check the Print Queue Again

Once the printer has restarted, open the print queue again and check whether the job has been removed. If it is still listed, repeat the cancel steps or use the Clear Print Queue option to fix the Samsung printer printing stuck in queue issue.

4. Verify No Paper Jams

This may be due to a paper jam inside the printer, which prevents new print jobs from being processed. Check your printer for jammed paper or debris inside. Open the printer cover carefully, and see if anything is obstructing the printer, even a small piece of paper that might be causing this problem.

5. Restart Your Computer

Sometimes, communication between the printer and the computer gets messed up, and causes a print job to stick. Sometimes, simply restarting your computer will renew the connection. Once the computer is back up and running, hit a test page.

6. Reconnect to the Network

If you are using a wireless printer from the Samsung company, the first step to troubleshoot the issue of the printer being offline would be to check your network configuration to confirm that the printer, as well as the computer, are connected to the same wireless network.

7. Reinstall Printer Drivers

Sometimes, a printer queue can get hung up because the settings have been changed. Check your printer settings and make sure the printer is connected online and set as the default printer. 

8. Check Printer Settings

Sometimes, a printer job gets stuck because the settings have been altered. Check your printer settings and ensure that the printer is online and set as the default device.

9. Run Printer Troubleshooter (Windows)

Windows users can run the printer troubleshooter to identify and fix common printer problems. To do this, go to your Control Panel, search for "Troubleshoot," and select "Printer." This tool will automatically detect and attempt to fix any issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Banner

The most common causes of a stalled print queue include corrupted print jobs, out-of-date drivers, frozen print spoolers, and network connectivity problems. The issue is typically fixed by restarting the printer and clearing the queue.

Right-click your Samsung printer, choose "See what’s printing," and then remove the pending project from the Control Panel > Devices and Printers. Restart the Print Spooler service using services.msc if it won't stop.

Try updating your printer drivers from Samsung’s official website, checking cable/Wi-Fi connections, or temporarily disabling your firewall/antivirus, as they may block print jobs.

Keep your printer drivers updated, regularly clear the print queue, and ensure stable network connectivity. Restarting the printer and computer occasionally also helps avoid spooler errors.
