@kmhoffva , Kathy, Click on your printer icon on the task bar then you will see three titles which are printer/document/view, click on printer, under printer you will see unpause, then unmark it and start printing. If that does not work you may have a corrupt driver and may have to uninstall it from your computer and reinstall. Good luck.
I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
