I am using windows 10 on a dell desktop and when i try to print I get an error it can't print the document and shows the error status in the queue but it will print anyway. This is not a serious issue but can it be corrected?

Setup wirelessly with static IP address. The error I get is an error occurred and can't print the document but continues to print with error in status.
