To clear the print queue in Windows, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers. Right-click on your HP printer and select 'See what's printing.' In the print queue window, select 'Printer' from the menu bar and then click 'Cancel All Documents.' You might need administrative privileges to do this. On macOS, open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, select your printer, and click 'Open Print Queue,' then delete any pending jobs.
