My printer keeps printing the wrong document- a paper I wrote a month ago! What's up!?

Question

I want to print some pictures, but (my sister's printer, which I connect to my computer and change the setting so it prints) is printing my paper instead of some pictures I need. What do I do??

Answer 1

oh this has happened to me before. try opening up the priter icon at the bottom right of the start bar. the click printers[the one that is in bold] and click cancel to the document that is printing out. then try and print again :]

Answer 2

My guess is that you have several failed print attempts of that document stuck in the queue that never got printed. They will just kind of sit there doing nothing until a printer is attached to the PC. Once the printer is attached, bombs away! It will keep printing the documents until there are no more print jobs in the queue. So, before you plug the printer back in, you need to delete all of the extra print jobs. The easiest way would be to open you control panel, open the printers and faxes folder, double click on the name of your sister's printer, and delete all the jobs that you see in there. Once they're gone, you can reconnect the printer and print out the pictures that you want.



Have a good one! :)

Next time you start printing something, watch at the botton of the screen in the system tray bar. You'll find a printer. Right click it and click SHOW SCANNING PROGRESS or something like that. See if your text doc is the first one. If it is delete that file off by selecting it and deleting it. (not the actual file). Try printing the file you want once more.



I also have a doubt that you moght have virus or a spyware. I advice you to install an antivirus and a anti spyware software like AVG or SPYBOT and after updatinng it run a full system scan

Oh this is simple click on start>settings>printer & faxes. The windows will open just right click on the printer driver icon and click on (cancelled all the document). The message will show that do you want to delete all the document click yes it will delete all the pending jobs and you can reprint freshly what you want.

Answer 5

unplug it from the wall and let it sit for a few min. Plug it back up and try it again. If all else fails uninstall it from your devices and reinstall the driver. For some reason the document is staying in the waiting for print document tray.
