Viewing a printer's print queue allows viewing of pending print jobs and items waiting to print on the printer. To view a printer's print queue:

  1. Select Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners .Open Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners

  2. Select the printer you want to check.

  3. Select Open print queue.

  4. The Print Queue window opens and displays a list of the pending print jobs waiting to print on the printer. If there are no items in the list, there are no pending print jobs waiting to print.

    Tip: To verify that the correct printer's print queue is being viewed, in the Print Queue window select the Printers drop-down menu and make sure the desired printer is selected. If desired, print queues of other printers can also be viewed by selecting them from the Printers drop-down menu.
