[printer] status: paused Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
I have a PC running XP. There are two printers connected to the computer (one via USB and the other on the LPT1 port). The printer on the LPT1 port is in a paused state and is not printing. How can I set it to "ready" (like the other one)? I think that is the problem since the printer has printed during the self-test and reacts (moves the carriage?) when the computer is turned on.
Could you please give me the steps to follow?
Thank you for reading and for any help you can provide.
Louis.

Configuration: PC running XP

Have you gone to the control panel to find your printer?
Then select the printer and right-click.
A drop-down menu appears.
Check that "Pause Printing" is not checked.

I only have one printer connected via USB. I no longer had the 'Status' indication: ready. I disabled the spooler for my printer. Everything is fine. Blandine  Windows Vista Home Premium Edition

A solution to an identical problem without touching the spooler is to disable the automatic disabling of the device.

Possessor of an Epson Stylus Color 1520 ESC/P printer, at startup it performs an auto-test "print head" and then stops, remaining in a pause state, the "PAUSE" button flashes yellow, and the cover open light flashes red. Immediate solution, thank you in advance.

Thank you to those who responded to the printer issue, I tried it and resolved the problem in 2 clicks by going to "Control Panel," then "Printer," then right-clicking and "Resume Printing."

Thank you all

The solution to this very frustrating problem is as follows: due to a minor printing issue, your computer automatically paused the printing that was in progress. You need to go to the taskbar at the bottom right of your computer. You should see a small printer icon. Click on it. In the upper left corner of the box that will appear, click on Printer, and next to Pause Printing, there is a checkmark. Click on it to remove it. Exit and try your printing again. Before downloading anything, try this; it worked for me and several of my friends.
