Let's say I have a list of documents in the print queue. I am in urgent need of printing the last document.
The current print job will take 1 hour to finish. Is there a way to pause the current print job and print my document which is at the bottom of the queue and then resume printing the paused print job?
Edit 1: I have tried pausing the current job and shifting the last job to the beginning of the queue. But unless the current job is either cancelled or completed, the queue does not resume on pausing. Thus I am stuck.

Perhaps select all but last jobs and right click and pause? I haven't used Windows in some time but i recall ability to pause single jobs so multiple jobs might work too. Maybe you can move it to the to of the queue... – QuickishFM – 2020-02-23T12:21:43.100
Open Printers in the system tray. Look in the Up arrow if the icon is hidden. See if the job is there and pause it. If the job is not there, then it has already spooled and gone. Try turning off the printer and turning it back on. Maybe just wait for the job to finish. – John – 2020-02-23T12:32:20.613
Perhaps cancel the current print job, print the other document, then resume printing the previous one from the page where it stopped. – harrymc – 2020-02-23T12:45:24.920
@harrymc this is the only thing that works. But I don't want to cancel the current job. I want to resume the job on completion of the high priority temp job. – One Face – 2020-02-23T13:23:00.867
Did you try pausing it? Also an hour has passed. It is finished? – John – 2020-02-23T13:54:05.913
@John As I was in a hurry, I cancelled the current job and printed the necessary document. But I want to know if its otherwise possible – One Face – 2020-02-24T04:26:13.040
