# AutoPrint says there's no matching queue item ('next item to print: none')

# AutoPrint says there's no matching queue item ('next item to print: none')

AutoPrint is not starting the next job, and you may see the banner "AutoPrint paused" with a list of reasons, a status of "Next item to print: none", or the reason "No match for next item to print in the print queue". This is expected behaviour, not a bug, and it is quick to fix.

## What this means

AutoPrint tells you why it is waiting. In the printer's control panel, the **AutoPrint widget** shows a status banner and a troubleshooting checklist that names the exact reason the next print has not started - so if you are ever unsure, start there.

In this case, AutoPrint has nothing in the queue it can run on this printer. The usual reasons are: nothing matches the printer's tags (filament, nozzle, bed type, colour or material); a queue GROUP is restricted to specific printers, models or groups and this printer is not one of them; or the queue is empty, or every item is paused, awaiting approval, over the owner's quota, or already at its max-concurrent-printers cap. The group restriction is the classic trap: if you set a group to only run on your P1P and later add a P1S, items in that group will never match the P1S until you edit the group.

## How to fix it

- Click the "Queue Inspector" button in the AutoPrint widget - it shows exactly which criterion is blocking each item for this printer.
- Load the right filament, or fix the item's tags, so something matches.
- If a queue group is scoped to certain printers/models/groups, edit its "for printers / models / groups" setting to include this printer.
- Check items are not all paused or awaiting approval.
