Is there a way to pause current print job and start printing another document in windows 10?

Let's say I have a list of documents in the print queue. I am in urgent need of printing the last document.

The current print job will take 1 hour to finish. Is there a way to pause the current print job and print my document which is at the bottom of the queue and then resume printing the paused print job?

Edit 1: I have tried pausing the current job and shifting the last job to the beginning of the queue. But unless the current job is either cancelled or completed, the queue does not resume on pausing. Thus I am stuck.

The feature of pausing a print job and switching to another really depends on your printer driver. This is not a feature of Windows.

When the driver does not expose such an option, the only possibility is to cancel the current print job, print the other document, then resume printing the previous one from the page where it stopped. Cumbersome, but it works.
