How to Resolve Print Job Stuck in Queue?
Print jobs getting stuck could have various origins. To start with, check the power cords connected to your 123.hp.com/dj5821 printer. There are chances the power cord is not connected.The switch is turned off or the voltage connector that the printer is connected to is having issues. Try restarting the printer.
If your printer stopped responding in the middle of a print session, there is a possibility that the printer has experienced network failure. This will disrupt the data being sent from the printer to the computer.
Recheck connectivity. The print jobs remain in the queue when the network connection fails and when they are back up again, printing commences. Check the print queue and if it has been paused, manually unpause it.
The printer that is set to the default printer will be the one to which all the print jobs are sent. Check if the default printer and the printer in use are one and the same.
Reset the printing software by reinstalling the printer driver and updating it. Most print issues should be rectified by now. In case the printer is still facing errors, check for paper jam issues.
Try printing from a different application as printing might get halted due to software corruption.
There are also chances that the file that is being attempted to print is not recognized by the print software. Try changing the format of the document to a format that is recognized by the printer.
Paper jam is the result of paper getting stuck in the 123.hp.com/dj5821 printer. Common places where it gets lodged are in the input paper tray, internal rollers, and the cartridge area. This can be usually prevented by simply pressing the Ok button on your printer’s control panel when the printer asks you to clean the print jam. Although, in most cases, it required manual intervention.
Begin with using both your hands to remove the paper that has been stuck in the printer. Gently pull the paper out of the rollers or from where it is stuck. Extend the output paper tray as keeping it closed will result in the output paper getting accumulated and ending up jamming the roller.
Restarting the printer might prove fruitful. This is done by turning the printer off and then on. Now keeping the printer turned on, the power cords are removed from the rear of the printer and from the wall socket. The connection is re-established after a waiting period of 60 seconds and the printer is attempted to print. Make sure to not connect the power cord to a spike buster or to a voltage stabilizer as they might interrupt the connection.
If the error signal is still persisting, open the cartridge access door. remove the power cord before doing so as this might result in electric shock. Avoid damaging the insides of the printer it is recommended to use a flashlight for better visibility. If any pieces of paper are found lodged inside, this is removed gently. For smaller pieces of paper, a tweeter is used.
When all the paper pieces have been removed, replace the existing papers in the input tray with fresh sheets or re-stack the sheets on a flat surface and drop it inside the paper tray. The paper is fanned to remove all the clumps. This is a common phenomenon when the environment is humid or very moist. This will cause the first few papers to form wrinkles and the edges get curled. This can be a disaster as the printer will be unable to pick a single sheet when this happens.
