    I'm guessing you want to do this in windows, so moved to the correct forum.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused: which do you want to do, pause a printing queue or a process?

    Also, is this a "pause" caused by the user, or a pause to wait for the printer to catch up with the printing? Or some other pause?

    There are many ways to make something pause, but the correct usage requires understanding of what the actual purpose is.
