My computer is giving me an error that my printer is out of paper and it is not. It has done this with three different printers.

2018-02-12T19:24:52+00:00 I also am having the same problem as everyone else. I have read the thread and restarting the print spool does work but i am having to do it 1-2 times a week. I'm the 'IT' guy but also an estimator and have to go out on jobs sites, so i'm not always here.
This is the only printer here (have 4 HP Laserjet 500 printers also) that has this issue and just started happening a month or so ago. Not sure if there is an update on the drivers or is there firmware for this printer (like the 500's). Just tired of having 1 of the owners of the company keep coming to me asking me to fix her printer.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
