What type of printer is it? Try this https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Errors-or-Lights-Stuck-Print-Jobs/Can-I-turn-off-spooled-printing-I-want-to-print-directly-to/td-p/6693087

Follow the steps below and let us know if it fixes the issue:-

Move numbered folders and restart the print spooler

Move numbered folders to a temporary folder

To move numbered folders left over from a failed driver upgrade:-

1. In the Windows\system32\spool\drivers\ folder, look in each of the IA64, W32X86, and x64 folders for the presence of a folder named "3" that contains a large number of numbered folders (\W32X86\3\1, \W32X86\3\2, \W32X86\3\3, and so on).
2. If there are a large number of numbered folders inside the "3" folder, move those folders to a temporary folder such as C:\Temp.
3. After moving the folders, restart the Print Spooler service by using the procedure in the following section.

Restart the print spooler

To start or restart the Print Spooler service:

Press “Windows key” + “R”.
Type Services.msc
Locate the Print Spooler service in the list of services, and then confirm that its status is started.
If its status is not started, select the service and then click Start on the Action menu.

Note: You can also do this from an elevated Command Prompt window by typing the following command: net stop spooler && net start spooler

In some instances, you might receive Error 1068 – "The dependency service or group failed to start" – when attempting to start the Print Spooler.

This can happen if the Print Spooler service relies on other services that are not running. To resolve this issue:

Press “Windows Key” + “R”
Type Services.msc
Right-click Print Spooler and then click Properties.
Click the Dependencies tab.
The first box lists all of the system services that must be running for the print spooler to start. These are the dependencies.
Make a note of each service, click OK, and then start each service that the print spooler depends on, if the service is not already started.
If a particular service is not already started, right-click it, click Properties, and then confirm that the Startup type is Automatic.
