Self-filling print buffer
Does anyone know what could be the cause of the constant and uncontrolled filling of the print buffer? I do not order anything to print, and the printer's buffer keeps filling up with a queue of some supposed documents to be printed. Then when I want to print something, I can't because of this clogged buffer ...

There are several reasons that can lead to a constant and uncontrolled filling of the print buffer. A few of them are:
Problem with printer drivers - If the printer drivers are outdated or incorrectly installed, this can lead to printer malfunctions, including the print spooler becoming full.
USB Connection Problems - If the USB connection between the printer and the computer is damaged or malfunctioning, it can lead to printer malfunction, including the print buffer becoming full.
Infected computer - Some viruses can cause the print buffer to fill up in order to disrupt the system. In this case, you may need to scan your computer to remove the virus.
Application Bugs - If you are using a specific printing application, problems with that application may lead to the print buffer filling up. In this case, contact the software manufacturer or try to install the latest version of the software.
To resolve the issue with the print buffer filling up, you can try the following:
- Make sure the printer drivers are up to date and properly installed.
- Check that the USB connection between the printer and computer is working properly.
- Perform a system scan to detect and remove viruses.
- Try installing the latest version of the printer software or contact the software manufacturer for technical support.

This is a mechanism that allows the printer to automatically fill the memory buffer while printing, without having to wait for the entire print job to complete. This makes the printing process more efficient and faster because the printer is working on successive fragments of the document while the previous ones are being printed. As the memory buffer fills up, the printer begins to print while filling up more of the buffer. This can also affect the quality of the printout, as the printer can adjust its parameters during printing, as it has constant access to the entire document.
