EXPLANATION

The spooler service manages print jobs on Windows OS PCs.  Sometimes this service can get "stuck" and otherwise interrupt printing.  A quick and effective troubleshooting idea is to simply stop and restart the service.  This is done through an elevated command prompt:

net stop spooler

Then restart using the following:
net start spooler
