After the reboot is complete it successfully prints what was in the print queue before I rebooted.
Then after that reboot (and the printing of what jobs were in the queue) when I try to print the same thing happens as before - the jobs collect in the print queue and they won't print. Then when I then do another reboot the items print after the reboot is complete.
After reading nabilalk's question (from my XP machine) I turned on the Windows 7 Acer Aspire 5532 laptop. Once it was finished booting I opened my Word test file and tried to print it 3 times. It did not print any of the 3 attempts, but the 3 jobs did appear in the print queue (http://gregburrus.com/stuff/three.jpg).
I then closed the print queue (I did not cancel the print jobs), closed Word, and rebooted. Once the laptop was done printing all 3 print jobs printed perfectly fine.
While they were printing (there was a slight pause of about 5 seconds between each print) I tried to open the print queue through the shortcut icon in the taskbar that appears when a print job is pending/printing, but there was none. I wasn't fast enough to open it through the Start Menu while it was still printing.
What could be causing the print jobs to just hang out in the queue not printing, but then print successfully after a reboot?
