- Unable to print and getting the error message "Printer in an error state" in Windows 10 or Windows 11? You can fix it easily by one of these six methods.
First of all, make sure "Connect Automatically" is enabled in wifi connection settings if you are using wifi direct printer. Secondly make sure your printer has paper and paper is not jammed!
Method 1: Go to control panel - hardware and sound - printers and devices - printers and scanners - troubleshoot
Method 2: open print queue and clear/cancel the print queue
Method 3: remove the device from printer settings. Add again to reinstall the drivers.
method 4: services - print spoooler - right click and restart. Open it and chage the startup type to automatic to prevent the problem from reoccurring.
Method 5: command prompt - right click & run as admin. Type the following commands and hit the enter key after each
taskkill.exe /f /im printfilterpipelinesvc.exe
net stop spooler
now press Windows Key + R to open Run. Type Spool and click on OK. Go to Printers folder and delete all files inside the printers. go back to command prompt admin and type the following commands one by one
sc config spooler start= auto
printfilterpipelinesvc.exe
net start spooler
Method 6: go to device manager. right click and uninstall all itmes under print queues and printers. Just uninstall! Don't delete or remove if asked. Click on Action on the top and scan for hardware changes twice. Or just restart your system to apply the changes.
Hope this helps!

I really appreciate the pace of this video. Fast enough that we are not bogged down in talking, but slow enough that we can follow along or pause long enough to try the steps. Perfect video ! I'm going to try your command prompts and if that doesn't fix it, uninstall and 'check for changes'. Thanks !
It was very helpful thankyou so much 👍🏻
