Posted by admin on Mar 26th, 2007
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate. I have an HP 6540 printer. After printing several documents the print queue Breaks. I look at the printer, the busy light is flashing as if it is printing, but nothing comes out. The print queue has from 2 to 5 jobs waiting. The only way out of this is to 1:turn off the printer. 2:restart the system. 3:when the system comes back up check the print queue. if it is not empty, choose the option to clear all print jobs. This should clear the queue. 4:go to printer properties and reinstall the printer driver. This fixes the problem for a day or two. I have even gone to printer properties and selected print directly to printer. This does no good Vista still brings in the print queue on every print job. This is a Microsoft problem, it needs to be fixed with a patch to VISTA ULTIMATE. This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

This appears to be an HP problem and should be fixed with a patch from HP.....If it were a Vista problem, everyone would be complaining their queue hangs... and I can assure you, they aren't and it doesn't.Of course you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the unit.
